Any copyright violation here ?

Legit!

Perhaps this needs further inspection. I'll volunteer!!

Special marine camera needed?

As Kenny says, these are legit. Originally they were made up for a salesman's meeting, presented in a gold box to each attendee. The banner at the front of the room said "Rickenbacker is out in front" and lovely ladies modeled them for the group, along with some new T-shirt and jacket designs.

We were all younger then and the business was still fun.

However, the meeting was a bomb, so to speak, as it was held on January 17th, 1991 . . . just a few hours after Operation Desert Storm hit the news.

Anyway, the small quantity that were produced were eventually sold out or given away. I vaguely recall my wife carrying some of these towards the dumpster.

For the record:

What a hoot!

John, thanks for that bit of company history!

Good to know the back story isn't unmentionable! Thanks for the "brief" explanation!!

The men's version was to read 'Dickenbacker',...but was scrubbed at the last minute......

All things must pass - .

So who bid on the auction?
