These lightweight, vividly printed fans capture the bold typography and period colours of 1960s commercial aviation, making them an instant focal point in travel-themed displays. Each fan is paired with a sealed British Airways mini playing card pack, adding an untouched element of nostalgia that enhances collectability and display value.

Display & Use

Perfect for shelf displays, framed shadow boxes, desk accents, or curated travel vignettes. Because the fans are paper-based, we recommend mounting them flat or showing them behind glass to prevent warping and edge wear. The mini playing cards may remain sealed as part of the display or be opened and used by the collector.

Care & Preservation

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve colour and paper integrity.
• Handle with clean, dry hands; consider archival mounting, acid-free backing, or framing to protect the printed surfaces.
• Store flat in a cool, dry place if not on display to minimise creasing or edge wear.

Why collectors love this set

These paper fans embody the colourful graphic language of 1960s aviation design — bold layouts, period palettes and compact form — while the unopened mini playing cards offer a rare, intact piece of airline ephemera. Ideal for vintage retailers, collectors, or anyone creating a retro travel-themed display.
