Anyone recognize 1950s or 60s airline or airport logo?

I got these old airline plates (maybe airport?) And I cannot identify the airline to save my soul. Anyone recognize it? The plates are Wallace restaurant ware.dating to 1959 based on the backstamp.
Thanks!!

Boy you'd think this one would be easy. Clearly a jet airliner going over the oceans marked AM? There are lots of logos to look at, but none like that I'm finding. Being it's made by Wallace and colors of red white and blue do make me believe it's some American airline company.

Strange, looked at hundreds of old logos, and none match.

Some history:
Wallace China started in Huntington Beach, California in the 1930's. The company relocated to Vernon, California and continued operations there until 1959 when Shenango acquired Wallace China. In 1964 Wallace China was dissolved, and fours years later Shenango was sold to Interpace Corporation.
You may wish to locate Interpace Corporation and ask them if they have the archives of Wallace China.

It might not be an airline or airport - it could be from a diner.

The aircraft silhouette looks like a jet airliner to me, so that would date it to the 50's onward.
And probably no later than the early 70's, when (at least for airlines), personal touches like this vanished and they started to nickel-&-dime you to death with all sort of fees.
Maybe that was in the days of airline deregulation?

The presence of waves in the logo leads me to think this logo might be related to an international (i.e., overseas) carrier.

In the early 1960s I flew Aeronaves de Mexico from NY to Mexico City. Could that be the AM?

Doubtful.
Wrong color scheme, and their logo going back to 1934 doesn't include the essential features shown on the plate.

Can't be in the '70s since Wallace China was dissolved in 1964.

I like the diner idea. Maybe close to an airport?

I did a fair amount of searching on the net and couldn't come up with an answer for you. I would like to note though, that the aircraft pictured on it appears to be a tri-jet type (jet engine located in the tail along with the wing mounted motors), so that could be of assistance in a date range. I think commercial passenger tri-jet planes were introduced more or less in the early 1960's and for some reason started to fall out of favor in the 1970's

Is that a jet engine on the tail ? If so maybe a DC9 ... maybe just the edge of the tail....

Is that a jetliner or dried spinach?

Could me an airline code. AM is Mexico
