Wow, gotta get one of the paperweights and the cap looks great, too!
The Boeing store has been doing a lot of this kind of stuff lately, I've noticed. They have had shirts made with the old logos of all the companies they've bought out, got a nica NAA shirt at an airshow in June when they showed up with stuff to sell.
I need to get down to the retail store sometime at Boeing Field, but they're only open week days. They always have a lot of stuff like that there.

There's a Boeing trash and trinkets dispensery inside the 'Flight has no Future' @ KPAE.
And ever since the merger (which appears to make MDC the victors) Boeing did away with the traditional 'Totem Pole' Anniversary pin now you get a sweater button, but! For $35 you can buy your own Totem Pole pin, how cheapo is that?

Thanks for posting. Those of us that fly a couple of B-17's usually like to grab some of these things when passing thru BFI each year etc.
Either at the museum or the Boeing Store down the road.

I have an actual vintage one of these caps that was given to me several years ago.
