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.

Hainan Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Bill McClory
Print or Image Color: Yellow, Red, White
Background / Bag Color: Blue
Nonsensical logo looks like a tongue with yellow hair on it. Big changes have been in the works for Hainan, most notably is that they now made the bag Waterproof -- about time!

Hamburg Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 1997
Received From: Oliver Conradi

The Hamburg logo looks like an actual hamburger where the patty is replaced by an airplane.

Hamburg International

Received From: Matthias Koch

Nice flying hamburger logo, which is appropriate if you call your airline Hamburg. Italics rule!

Hapag-Lloyd

Completely blank white, with the words "Hapag-Lloyd" on the bottom. The Gunter-ACS Pacman appears in the gusset without the words.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Kritik means 'Thank you for your criticism'. Whoever wrote these words must have been sending subliminal messages to my mother for many years.

Yellow describes this bag. Just like everything in Texas, this bag is big and yellow.

Probably the ugliest Swiss Fotobag of them all. A brilliant highlighter pink with a touch of blue.

This bag is a complete design rip-off of Austral. If you're going to use someone else's design, at least use something interesting.

I love the drugged-out flying seahorse logo. On the bottom of the bag, note that the fuselage of the plane is cracked.
