A most unique data plate, this is a modern reproduction made to exacting detail and stunning beauty of what must be one of the most obscure Lockheed designs.......aircraft data plate made on heavy aluminum with detailed screening.........a collector recently had a few of these made since neither of the original two Lockheed Saturns survive, they were scrapped by Lockheed in 1948........plate measures 2" by 4" and riveted to the structure of the aircraft.......chances are that other Lockheeds of immediate post-WWII such as the Constellation Neptune Shooting Star and Starfire used this same data plate.........I just have the one in beautiful condition with protective plastic covering it........$45
