I just picked these up online for what I would consider to be a STEAL (under $10). These are from the Thunderbird Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas that existed from 1948 to 1976. It changed to the Silverbird then to a new reincarnation of the El Rancho, before being finally closed forever in 1992. These cufflinks are vintage, though I unable to calculate the exact dating other than prior to 1976, and the logo on them is indeed the original Thunderbird casino logo. Usually, these logo type links are employee gifts or something along those lines. Possibly a gift shop item, but doubtful, as casino logo wear (including cufflinks) usually were not retailed during this era.
Thanks Phil! If the eBay seller only knew what my actual Max bid was versus what I paid. ????
Such a cool find! My grandfather was one of the owners of the Thunderbird back in the 50s-60s, if you ever decide to part with these, let me know. I’d love to gift them to my dad.
