Going through the boxes, I re-discovered this old cigarette case with assorted old aviaton related wings attached, I recognize the Curtiss-Wright years-of-service pins and ruptured duck, and the NAA wings.
At first, the Navy wings looked pretty standard, but on closer look, I can find none that have the five smaller wing feathers, at the upper-most, and inner-most part of the wings set, here. Google did not help me find the AWAMB or WAMBA? wings, with star. Finally there is the "foreign-looking" set of wings with the three enameled crosses. Any Ideas?

Is the one with three shields on it the airline SAS (Scandanadian Air services) after all the three shields are the flags of Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

Thanks, Aeronut;
After your suggestion, I rechecked, and there are a couple of similar emblems and badges for SAS, but none that are an exact match. I am just guessing that these wings may be a bit earlier than the SAS examples found through current Internet image searches.

Thanks Rondebmar!
Wow! been looking for a match for this design for a long time. th Navy wings appear to be a match for the Amcraft Attleboro, Mass wings, that are the fourth ones from the bottom. :D

Definitely (am Danish and used to work there) SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System), although I cannot say when and for what.
