Long Description
My Grandpa was in the Air force and worked with the Air Force One squadron. When Vice President Nelson Rockefeller wanted the seals changed in 1974 this was going to be thrown away. My Grandpa kept this one and it has been hanging in his garage ever since. I believe it is made of plaster. It has a wire loop on the back where it was hung on the door of Air Force Two when the Vice President was Flying.
