Motion Discomfort Bag

Description:

This paper bag is likely familiar to all who have traveled by air. It is white with brown print, measures 4 ½ inches by 8 ½ inches and features a floral design. A paper covered wire at the bag’s top opening is intended to be rolled down and fastened against the sides for a secure closure after use by an air sick passenger. This particular bag was used on flights by the now defunct United States airline carrier Eastern during the early 1980s. Currently, this item is a part of the airline memorabilia collection held by Cornell University’s Kheel Research Center for Labor-Management and Documentation Archives.
