Description

Duffel bag, branded to Texaco. Black body, with red straps and silver/grey ends and accents along the zipper. Features: Polyester construction, with sewn-on handles that loop underneath the bag and up both sides (unknown support inside of handles), and a removable shoulder strap. Both long sides are printed with the Texaco logo (red circle, with an interior white star and red "T" within the star). The print of the logo is misaligned on one of the sides. Seams between the black sides and silver/grey ends feature red piping. The closure is a red plastic zip with a metal zipper. The zip is lined with silver/grey reflective strips on either side. At each end of the zip are red loops with metal loops where the shoulder strap can be attached. The shoulder strap is a separate piece consisting of a wide woven fabric strip with metal clips on both ends and a metal adjustment slider in the middle. On the base of the bag are four metal feet in each corner, and logos and owner information are printed in white, in a line at the centre of the base. The first logo is for the manufacturer (Blondy Arc Sac de Voyage), followed by two maple leaves with the text "Fait au CANADA/Made in Canada" inside. To the right-most is space for the owner to write their information, reading: "Ce sac appartient A/This bag property of; nom/mane; adresse/address; ville/city; prov" The owner (Carol Haggerty) has filled in their information in red ballpoint pen (so inscriptions section for more information). The Interior is unlined, with a heavy cardboard base to retain shape.
