This is an item I got from my grandma while she was living, many years ago.I never really got the whole story of how she got it, but I do know that her family was from Czechoslovakia, and Serbia. I remember that she always kept her accent and was quite a character. She worked up until her late 80's as a caregiver for people younger than she was ! I also have some old 78 albums with bands from Serbia she gave me. I have another photo I want to post that is of her momma, uncle and grandmother. It is really priceless. I don't want to drag this out, but I thought it was an awesome story that went with the photos. I love reading a story that goesd with an item. I have been unable to find anything like this bag online. I know the airline started up in 1923 and is still active today. I think my grandma came to America during the 30's or 40's. This looked like an item the airline would give away to customers. It has rubber handles and is made out of a mesh material that is still in great condition. Thanks for looking and reading my story. I will try and post some of the other photos later .
