A very pretty gold coloured metal pin badge advertising Aero vodochody, but at this time they were just named Central Czechoslovak Factories or Středočeské strojírny as they were also involved in manufacturing bus chassis, which dates the pin badge to the dates around 1955 - 1965. The badge face is 1.5cm in diameter and has a long, stick pin style fastener to the rear.
It features the unmistakable Aero bird logo.

Around this time they started development of the Aero-L29 Delfin a Czech designed and built jet trainer and from this came the 1970's designed L-39 Albatros which went on to be, arguably, the most successful jet trainer in history and still being manufactured 40 years later in the form of the L-159.
