Piper Cub Bear 7.5in Trivet Hot Pad Coaster

Few aircraft are as instantly recognizable — or as beloved — as the Piper J-3 Cub. Built at Piper’s Lock Haven, Pennsylvania plant between 1938 and 1947, nearly 20,000 were produced, and thousands remain airworthy today. The Cub taught America to fly, serving as the primary trainer of the Civilian Pilot Training Program and putting roughly 80 percent of wartime military pilots through their first flights.

This 7.5″ laser-engraved cork trivet features the vintage Piper Cub bear logo — Piper Aircraft Corp., Lock Haven, PA, U.S.A. — exactly as it appeared in the aircraft’s heyday. Built from high-density natural oak bark cork, it’s heat-resistant, non-slip, and absorbent, protecting your surfaces from hot pans and cold glasses alike. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

For the pilot’s kitchen, the hangar break room, or anyone who gets excited by the little yellow airplane with a lightning bolt.
