Republic Airlines 1984-style Acrylic Snowflake Ornament
This ornament recalls Republic Airlines of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The airline operated from 1979 until 1986, with large connecting hub operations at Minneapolis, Detroit, and Memphis. Republic was formed from the 1979 acquisition of Southern Airways of Atlanta by North Central Airlines of Minneapolis. The merged airline then acquired Hughes Airwest in 1980. Republic was then acquired by Northwest Airlines in 1986.
An artistic interpretation of the airline's brand is laser-engraved with exacting detail onto a cut acrylic snowflake crystal ornament, measuring approximately 3.4 inches (8.6 cm) between opposite points, with a material thickness of 1/8 inch. For best display clarity, the design is engraved as a reversed mirror image on one side of the ornament, so that it can be viewed with proper alignment on the opposite side.
As a gift, or as a treat for yourself, these are a perfect way to add your favorite airlines of the past to your today! Use them to decorate for the holidays, or to brighten up your desk, office, or special area of your home or work space all year long.
