Over the Top, this TWA sticker proclaims, with a long-range triple-tailed airliner flying past a polar map and a red Polar Route banner above the TWA Jetstream name. Jetstream was TWA's name for the Lockheed L-1649A Starliner, which entered TWA service on 1 June 1957. The airline flew the type on polar routes between Europe and California, and in September 1957 a TWA Starliner flew the first nonstop from Los Angeles to London, captained by chief pilot Bob Buck. Stickers like this went onto many passengers' bags.
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.
