A red-coated coachman sounds his horn on this oval American Airlines label for "The Royal Coachman," a DC-7 nonstop transcontinental aircoach. American took delivery of its first DC-7 in November 1953 for nonstop flights between the coasts, and some of its later DC-7Bs were delivered in a Royal Coachman configuration with five-abreast seating, then billed as the fastest aircoach service between New York and Los Angeles. Travelers were given labels like this one to stick on their suitcases.
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.
