Found an Old Set of Airline-Branded Cutlery - Collectible?

Started by ArrivalDXB66 1 weeks ago 3 replies 39 views
So I was cleaning out my grandma's attic and stumbled across a box of old airline stuff. Among the random things was a set of airline-branded cutlery. It's got the logo of an airline called Braniff International. I think they went out of business a long time ago. The set includes a fork, knife, and spoon, all with the same logo. They look pretty vintage and have some wear and tear.

I'm not a big collector myself, but I'm curious if these might be worth anything or if people actually collect stuff like this? I know some folks are really into old airline memorabilia. Anyone have any idea if this is a thing? And if so, how do you even go about finding out their value? Also, if anyone's interested, would love to hear about your own finds or collections involving airline cutlery. Thanks!
Yeah, Braniff went under in the early '80s, but their stuff is still floating around. Vintage airline memorabilia can be pretty collectible, especially from defunct airlines like Braniff. The value depends on condition and demand, but there are definitely folks out there who'd be interested. Try checking eBay for similar items to get an idea of what they're going for. As for finding value, maybe see if there are any aviation collectible groups or forums. People love sharing their finds and might have more insight!
Braniff stuff can definitely be collectible, especially because it's a defunct airline with a bit of a cult following. Some folks really dig that retro airline vibe. The cutlery might not make you rich, but it could be worth something to the right collector. I'd check out eBay or online collector forums to get a sense of the going rate. It's all about finding that niche market. Ever come across any other cool airline relics while cleaning?
