Flying to Nassau
Post card is a Plastichrome by Colourpicture Publishers, Inc. Boston 15, Mass., U.S.A.
This is a DC-3 owned by Mackey Airlines, headquartered at Broward International Airport in Fort Lauderdale FL, flew direct to Nassau from Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, St. Petersburg, and Tampa. It was acquired by Eastern Airlines in 1967.
Airtext Child’s Flight Bag
These things pop up in unlikely places, like at an estate sale. This is a vintage Piedmont child’s souvenir candy travel bag. It was sold at the Piedmont store, filled with candy to keep the little nipper occupied during the flight. It is 7″ wide, 3.5″ deep and about 4″ high (just the bag, not the straps). It has a metal zipper. Manufactured by Airline Textiles Manufacturing Co. of Des Moines IA. The company, apparently, is still in business.
Braniff International
This is an unopened card deck I found at an estate sale. This airline went out of the flying trade in 1982.
