Donations and Swaps

As a collector of Air Sickness Bags. I am interested in obtaining new specimens. If you happen to encounter any kind of sickness bag, would you kindly send me one (unless it's plain white)? Here's the "corporate" address:

Steve Silberberg
9 Third St.
Hull, MA 02045
USA

Actually, airlines change their bags every few years, so if you ever notice a change, please snatch that bag and send it to me! I would be very grateful for any help you might provide. Many thanks in advance.

This design is identical to the 2003 design, except for the new purple tear strip.

This bag is identical to the other 2007 bag except in the gusset of this bag you find Chinese Characters, not the English letter "A".

Air Dolomiti

Approximate Vintage: 1999
Received From: Frank Mulliri
Print or Image Color: Teal, Navy, Gray

This one is really cool because of its refreshing mint background color. Pretty nice for its simplicity.

Air Koryo

Approximate Vintage: 2001
Received From: David Rennie
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag sports a witch riding her broom in the wake of an airplane. A truly low quality bag that feels slightly heavier than paper towel stock. Thanks David!

Logo of either a peacock or a PCB (printed circuit board).

Air Lankan

Received From: Christian Funch

He always sends me great bags like this with the winged slug logo. OK, maybe I'm embellishing.

Air Malta

Approximate Vintage: 1998
Received From: Christoph Vogel
Print or Image Color: Bold Red and Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Identical to other 1998 Air Malta bag, except no ELAG logo on the bottom.

Pan Am

Approximate Vintage: 1984
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Blue
This bag displays not quite laminar air flow. Out of business!

Pan Am (Blue Bottom)

Approximate Vintage: 1988
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Blue
Identical to previous versions except for telling German Kard-O-Seal markings on the bottom is blue now, not black.

ICN

Approximate Vintage: 2009
Received From: Toni Sutter
Print or Image Color: Red, White
Background / Bag Color: Blue, White
According to Toni, a Swiss ticket collector, "Here is a train sickness bag which is new for 2009 in Swiss Trains, which moves like a pendulum to the left and right in the curves to be faster in those curves. These trains called 'ICN' circulate between the North of Switzerland up and through the Alps to the South. "

Air Mauritius

Approximate Vintage: 2001
Received From: Nicola Ottolini
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Very similar to the blue Mauritius bag, showing that someone thought the design was perfect, just the colors were all wrong.

Air New Zealand

Received From: Thomas Homer Goetz
Print or Image Color: Navy
Background / Bag Color: White
If you can ignore the pubic hair logo, you'll see that this bag mainly shills for Avomine motion sickness medicine. They tell you never to leave home without it. So now wherever I go, I have to bring an AMEX card and Avomine.

Identical to other landscape version except if you flip the bag over, you can get Avomine from your pharmacist instead of your chemist.

Air New Zealand

Received From: Christopher Wren
Print or Image Color: Greenish Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Air New Zealand actually has a preferred motion sickness medicine: Avomine. I'm not sure why they recommend this over say, Bonine or Dramamine, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with money!! The bag also tells you that it is provided to you "to collect general waste", whatever that might consist of.

Air Niugini

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Maroon and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
It seems like a waste to print a two color logo when it's impossible to tell what the logo might be.
Flash! Bag fan, Tony Young says the logo is a stylized Bird of Paradise. I don't know, it still looks like a broken key ring to me. All joking aside, these birds are endangered and I would encourage you to support their protection.

Air Plus Comet

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: JK Terry
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
They decided to print the word 'Plus' in cursive attempting to jazz up the bag, but it doesn't really work.

I wonder if by "Comet" they mean that their planes return regularly every 76 years or so, like Halley's comet.
