A rare personal artifact from Donald A. Hall Sr.'s private papers: Charles A. Lindbergh's engraved calling card identifying him with Lambert-St. Louis Field. Inscribed across the face in period handwriting is the personal residence of his mother, Evangeline Lindbergh, at 178 N. Ashland Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. The card provided the Chief Engineer with direct personal access to the aviator outside public and corporate channels following the transatlantic flight.
