How to mount the Eames splint  

EH, we could go on about this all day.
And, yes, there are a lot of little "tricks" to displaying 3-D pieces to their full advantage and museums have distinctly different needs than one might in a domestic setting. In our homes, we are the final arbiters of what works and what doesn't, designers be damned (and I mean that most wholeheartedly). ;^)
My father was and my brother is a career pilot and both are walking encyclopedias of US aircraft history. I'll try to remember to ask them about your question regarding that particular contractor.

Thank you everyone, I really ...
Thank you everyone, I really appreciate your input!
I have a plain white wall between two windows which is about 75 inches wide. The sun doesn't hit the wall directly, so I think is a good spot. The plan is to hang it vertical.
Again - thank you! I'm so glad I found this forum!

I am guessing that the two pilots in your family may have heard of Allied Aircraft, but any specific Eames splint connection to Allied is probably a real long shot.
Very kind of you to ask them about it though. Thanks again.

I am glad some of that helped. ( I didn't mean to sidetrack things too much with my wonderings about the origin of my weird splint)

Now the fun part begins for you.

Now *that's* what I'm talkinabout.
Nicely done, Mr. Wood.

Allied Aviation Corp.
Hi, I've got made by Allied Aviation Corp as well, with the original packaging. The label looks identical to the Evans label with the exception of Evans being replaced by Allied Aviation Corp. and their logo. Even the Stock No S2-1790 is identical. I can send a pic if you give me your e-mail.

amazing...
This site is like sending off a message in a bottle sometimes...
Nice to hear another "Allied" splint exists!
My splint has no numbers, no "Evans" anything, no Allied Aviation "logo" -- just the three words "ALLIED AVIATION CORP" printed in small black letters dead center on the convex side of the splint. Mine is used, with no wrapper.
But its a start!

Correct, mine is exactly the ...
Correct, mine is exactly the same. Only those 3 words appear on the convex side in black. The logo and names only appear on the label on the outside wrapper. I purchased it from a person in the San Francisco bay area that had several of them.

You mean you're not going to wear it??

fantastic brando
For about a year, I was thinking that I would never see another one of these.
So what do we have here then? Are the "Allied Aircraft Corp" stamped splints earlier than the usual Evans production? Or was it just a separate run at around the same time? At any rate, these seem to be few and far between.
Thanks brando, and at least you have a wrapper!
All I have is a speck of what I suspect might be a little blood on my splint. Okay, I'm hoping.... It was found by some east coast guy in a garage sale. And a little red meat always adds to the drama.
(Street style indeed bshop22)

I have no idea. I speculate...
I have no idea. I speculate it was a run about the same time. Evans is on the West Coast, Allied is on the East Coast. Maybe logistically it was a simpler solution to contract two companies? I e-mailed the Eames company about it, and they said they would look into it, but never heard back.

it is surprising...
how almost NO information exists about Allied Aircraft Corporation and their production of Eames splints.
You are probably correct about these Allied splints being produced around the same time as the Evans splints, but I would love to see just one reference, one written account... So much to read about Evans Products everywhere you look, but here we have another part of the story, and not a single word on it!
I believe your Allied Aircraft Corporation splint with wrapping and logo may be the only known documentation on the planet at this time.
Too bad they cant just re name it, like they do when you discover a distant star. This would become the "brando22" splint.
Perhaps there are others OUT THERE....?

Dumb question's time.
I'm having difficulty trying to imagine how this splint would attach to the leg. Which way is up? How does it attach? Why do you see so many splint's lacking any blood splatter?
Bashfully,

ps rumor has it that Ray insisted that Charles wear a splint to bed every night but Sunday night. She so enjoyed watching Bonanza late on Sunday (Little Joe was quite handsome). I forgot the rest of the story. Anyone? SDR?
