When I first heard about this collection I had to ask myself why would anyone collect air sick bags (unused!)? Niek Vermeulen a 75 year old Dutchman started collection airline sickness bags in the 1970s on a bet with a friend to see who could accumulate the most of any one item and register a world record. He has 6,016 bags from 1,142 different airlines in 160 countries after over 40 years of collecting. His favorite bag is from NASA space shuttle Columbia that spent 16 days in space. He is looking for a successor to take over the collection if anyone is interested.
I have done a fair amount of air travel,but the only bags I have seen are just plain white ones...I must need to expand my horizons!
