Not every travel label came from an airline. This royal blue poster-stamp style label invites visitors to the Interpex International Stamp Show, with a magnifying glass inspecting a stamp printed with the Interpex name. The fine print gives the dates, March 22-24, 1963, and the venue, the Statler Hilton Hotel in New York City. Collectors traded and stuck labels like this much as travellers did with airline luggage stickers, and it makes a fine crossover piece for the stamp and aviation fan.
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.
Note: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.
