No, but it matches a picture of a bubble gum machine that may have had an undocumented repair. Also, traces of freckle cream on it.

No not really...except for the Amelia Earhart luggage...the only luggage that loses itself.

Seriously, I didn't mean to rain on your marketing effort...it was just a wiseguy remark.

amelia / tighar / gillespie are always good for a laugh!! they could start their own comedy team!!

seriously though it's a cool piece, bust of her face, & the fokker trimotor to the reverse side. 1928 vintage, not a recent franklin mint piece of junk.
