A bold red roundel on a white square invites travelers to "Take off with The Baron," set in blackletter type, and announces nonstop DC-10 service between Miami and Frankfurt. The modern Lufthansa traces its roots to Luftag, founded in Cologne in January 1953, and began scheduled flights in 1955. The airline brought the wide-body McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 into service in January 1974, the type named on this sticker. Airlines handed out stickers like this one for passengers to put on their luggage, and this one carried a transatlantic route straight onto the suitcase.
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.
