The white dome of the United States Capitol rises behind an orange falcon on this round Eastern Air Lines label, with Washington in script and Express in italics against a navy sky. Washington sat on Eastern's busy East Coast spine; by 1937 its routes ran from New York to Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans. Passengers received labels like this to put on their luggage. In 1961 Eastern linked Washington, New York and Boston with the industry's first air shuttle.
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.
