Pan American Airways System, reads the top of this early label, and the bottom calls it America's International Air Transport System. Between them, a flying boat is moored at a busy dock beneath a winged map of North and South America, with billowing clouds behind. Pan American named its flying boats Clippers from 1931, when the Sikorsky S-40 entered service; its first scheduled flight, in 1927, ran from Key West to Havana. The company dropped Airways System for World Airways in the 1940s.
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.
