Hi Yuri,
Very Nice Glider! Any idea as to the maker of these ball hinge / recessed catch Gliders?? I've seen them before and on
every occasion they were unmarked pieces.

Looking at IAB or PAB makers, this could have been made by Adolph Scholze, J.B. & Co., JFS or even M.K. These are the manufacturers of IABs and PABs that use ball hinges. This is a mystery until we find that paper packet in which this badge came.
