40-50s TWA (Trans World Airlines) utility bag

Found This Gem at the Market

A rare TWA (Trans World Airlines) utility canvas & leather bag from the 1940s–50s.

Crafted from heavy duck canvas with riveted leather straps and a solid wooden base, built for real work.
Most likely used by TWA’s in-house maintenance crew to carry tools and logbooks around the hangars.

Inside, it still holds traces of old tools, a hand-engraved name tag, and faded stencil marks, a quiet reminder of its long working life.
