BRINGING YOU THE BEST OF THE PAST. A piece of granite blasted from Cheyenne Mountain for NORAD. To 4-Star USAF General Seth McKee. From the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. 5 ½” Tall x 6 ½” wide x 1 ¾” Thick near top, 1″ thick at base. The empty hardwood case. 4 ½” Tall x 9″ Long x 8. Weighs 3 pounds 2 oz. 2 pounds 4 oz. The hardwood case is as beautiful as the piece of granite. General McKee served from 1935 until his retirement in 1973, the last four years of which he was the Commander in Chief of NORAD, based at Cheyenne Mountain, colorado. He served in so many places at such high positions, his collection of memorabilia was extensive. After his family gathered up the items that meant the most to them, I was fortunate enough to be able to acquire a substantial amount of what was left. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Militaria\Militaria (Date Unknown)\Air Force”. The seller is “arizonatreasurehunters” and is located in this country: US.
