Pressed in gold foil, this round label shows a banner bearing a globe and a star beneath the Braniff International Airways name, with 'El Dorado' in flowing script and 'Serving the Americas' around the lower edge. In 1957 Braniff launched Douglas DC-7C service to South America under the El Dorado name, borrowing the legend of the fabled city of gold for its flights linking the United States with the southern continent. The shimmering foil makes the label a fitting match for the name it carries.
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.
