A small cream oval marks fifty years of Alaska Airlines, 1932 to 1982, with a gold 50 and Years in script over a blue band where a vintage propeller plane and a modern jet fly side by side. The airline traces its beginnings to 1932, when Mac McGee began charter flights out of Anchorage and Star Air Service formed there as a rival; the two came together, and after names such as Star Air Lines and Alaska Star Airlines, the company became Alaska Airlines in the mid-1940s. Airlines gave out stickers like this to passengers for their luggage.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
