Description:

Here is a FRANK PATANIA SR THUNDERBIRD sterling silver belt buckle, made for the secret society "Conquistadores del Cielo" worn by newly elected U.S. Congressman DON FUQUA in the 1960s.

What a one-of-a-kind piece we have here made by the master silversmith himself. This buckle was presented to newly elected congressman, Don Fuqua, who won his seat in 1963. Frank Patania, Sr. died a year later in 1964.

This secret society RARELY has items ever come up for auction. 

The craftsmanship and styling is ultimate Frank Patania, Sr. and represents the industries that the secret society were working on manipulating & planning behind the scenes.

Don Fuqua quickly went on to chair the House Science Committee, and then became President of the Aerospace Industries Association.

Pickup is at our red roof warehouse in Bronson, FL on Wednesday August 21st from 11am to 3pm.
