General Election Barf Bag

Approximate Vintage: 2008
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: REd, Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
This is a fine bag with glossy red and blue printing that the scanner couldn't pick up, so it looks black. The bag says, "General Election Barf Bag for voting booth emergency. Vote. November 4, 2008."

Generic Australian Bag

Approximate Vintage: 2009
Received From: Ray Cranfield
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Bag manufacturer, Australian packaging Pty Ltd has started printing their return address on the back side of many bags they produce, such as Virgin Blue or Jet, but here's one that's completely generic for airlines with smaller budgets, I guess.

Generic Boat Bag

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Jim Cassidy
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag is a plastic generic version that, except for the missing logo, looks exactly like the 2003 Delta bags. They are advertised as Boat bags, but they're really just generic.

Generic Bus Plane Boat Bag

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Ian Blewett
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Ho hum. Good for most modes of transportation, but not trains.

Generic Cleanliness Bag

Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: White, Navy
Background / Bag Color: Navy, White
A pretty boring bag with clean, bold lines. Features English and Spanish. CLEANLINESS BAG
BOLSA DE MAREO

Generic German Seasickness

Received From: Christoph Vogel
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Christoph claims this is a sea-sickness bag, but provides no other information about it. Sea Sickness fan, Andrea Steubesand concurs. She says, 'I think that I have seen such bags when I went on one of those little German north sea ferries to the island "Juist" in the early eighties. Ferries go from the port of Norden to the port of Juist.'

Generic German Seasickness

Received From: Herb Schingoethe
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Exactly like other Generic German Seasickness Bag, except this has a Kard-O-Seal bottom.

Generic Plastic Instrucciones

Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
I sort of dislike this bag because it is so damn generic with very little to distinguish it from any other bag. But I guess that's the goal of a generic bag.

Generic Red Seasickness Bag

Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
I really like the script writing on this bag in 3 languages: German, Norwegian and English
Fur Seekrankheit
For Sjos juka
For Seasickness

Generic Red Stamp

Approximate Vintage: 1991
Received From: Kim Decker
Print or Image Color: Red, Green
Background / Bag Color: White
The only reason I know this is from 1991 is because someone who lifted it from the plane wrote the date on it. The red stamp has German, French and English on it and the bag is an ELAG product.

Generic Sea Sickness Bag

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: D Austin
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Supposedly, this bag was swiped from a ferry between Spain and Morocco. Cumbersome directions grace this beauty.

Generic Tyvek

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: Rune Tapper
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
This Air Sickness and Cabin Tidy Bag is fairly unremarkable except for the sage advice that exhorts you to supervise children when using this bag (as if you can pay attention to anything else while you're using the bag).

Georgian Airways

Approximate Vintage: 2010
Received From: Vidas Vekerotas
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Great crisp looking bag made of vinyl or something like that. The logo looks like a Palm Tree, though you'd be hard pressed to find a palm tree in Georgia.

Germania

Received From: Sam Green
Print or Image Color: Forest/Lime Green
Background / Bag Color: White
Blocky trapezoidal logo. The dot over the 'i' seems to indicate that consumer reports rates this airline as Very Good.

Germania

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: David Zekria
Print or Image Color: Forest/Lime Green
Background / Bag Color: White
Tasteful, italicized bag with stars on the inseam.

Germanwings

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Yellow
Background / Bag Color: Purple
Cool purple bag with understated company name.

Germanwings

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Paul Mundy
Print or Image Color: Yellow
Background / Bag Color: Purple
According to Paul Mundy's excellent web site, "Zur Erinnerung an alle Sammler: Tüte nur leer ins Album kleben!" translates into English as: "Reminder to all collectors: Stick only empty bags in the album!". Pretty cool that Germanwings understand the collector base and is doing their job to make our job more interesting. Hopefully, more good bags will be on they way from them.

Germanwings

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Thorsten Hecht
Print or Image Color: Yellow
Background / Bag Color: Purple
This bag says "War doch nur ein kleines Luftloch!" which I think means "War is like a small vent", but I'm not sure.

Germanwings

Approximate Vintage: 2009
Received From: Oliver Conradi
Print or Image Color: White, Yellow, Purple
Background / Bag Color: Yellow, Purple
A great bag from Germanwings. On one side, it's a chart. The top of the chart says, "Prices of the competition". Halfway down: Turbulence. And at the Bottom: Small Air Hole (probably not an accurate translation).

The other side says, "Want to check out her stomach? Here is the emergency exit." Again, probably not the most accurate translation.

Germanwings

Approximate Vintage: 2013
Received From: Rainer Schwartz
Print or Image Color: Purple, Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
Germanwings finally gets fed up with their enormous bill for purple ink and now just prints some legacy purple on a white bag.
