A green twin-engine airliner banks across an olive-gold label lettered WEST COAST EMPIRE AIRLINES, A SCHEDULED AIRLINE, with ROUTE OF THE Scenic Liners in a band along the bottom. The pairing of names reflects two Northwest carriers: Empire Air Lines, founded in 1944 by Bert Zimmerly in Lewiston, Idaho, and Seattle-based West Coast Airlines, which acquired Empire in 1952. At the merger Empire flew a fleet of five DC-3s. Airlines handed out stickers like this to passengers to put on their luggage.
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.
