Found a cool vintage airline blanket-anyone else collect these?

Started by PicsRunway10 2 hours ago 2 replies 22 views
So I was rummaging through some old boxes in my grandma's attic last weekend and found this really neat vintage airline blanket. It's from Pan Am, and I think it might be from the 1960s or 70s. The fabric is surprisingly soft, and it's got a classic blue and white design. Honestly, I didn't even know people collected airline blankets!

Now I'm curious-do any of you collect these? Are there certain airlines or eras that are more valuable or interesting? Also, any tips on how to care for them so they don't get all moth-eaten?

I'm thinking of starting a small collection if I can find more. Seems like a pretty cozy way to remember the golden age of air travel. Would love to hear if anyone else is into this or if you just think it's a bit odd!
Never really thought about collecting airline blankets, but now that you mention it, it sounds kinda cool! Pan Am stuff is always a hit. Those blankets are like little pieces of history. I've heard TWA and Eastern Airlines ones can be popular too. For keeping them in good shape, maybe try storing them in a cedar chest or something to keep the moths away. Curious if you've found any others or just the Pan Am one so far?
