Every frequent flyer knows this one: a red label with a white wine glass and the word Fragile above and below, here signed off with the USAir logo at the bottom. Tiny print along the top edge gives the form number SS-204 and a revision date of 10/94, so this version of the label was printed in the mid-1990s. Agents stuck labels like this on bags that needed gentle handling. USAir took that name in 1979, when Allegheny Airlines was renamed, and became US Airways in 1997 before merging with American Airlines.
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.
