Dear Visitor !
Welcome to my homepage. Hope you have a great day.
This page was not created to inform you about myself, but just for fun and a harmless passion:
It was mainly created for baggists to show my collection and enable contacts for information and swapping.
With about 300 bags I launched the web-site in 2009. The tremendous growth until now was enabled by
a lot of donations from relatives, friends, colleagues, fellow collectors and swaps even viz other collectibles.
Expressively sincere thanks for generously supporting my start up and further development to
Gerd Clemens, Gerhard Lang, Thorsten Hecht and late Dr. David Bradford.
Special sincere thanks to Siegfried Falk, Lu Lloyd and Martin Gosselin for donating their complete collections to me.
How to get the idea to collect air sickness bags?
Air transportation is one of the real revolutions throughout the past 100 years, giving mankind fantastic new horizons and enabling globalization in its allover positive meaning and aspects.
Airlines indeed are being founded, some are active for decades but plenty of them disappear after only a few years by being merged with or absorbed by another Airline or simply cease operations due from bankrupcy.
Very often the only remaining and memorabilia after even a short while is an Air Sickness Bag.
