Just Scored a Bunch of 1980s Airline Amenity Kits - Now What?

Started by DTW737Watcher 2 months ago 2 replies 127 views
So, I recently came across a stash of airline amenity kits from the 1980s in my attic. My uncle used to travel a lot back then, and I guess he saved a bunch of these. I've got a mix from airlines like Pan Am, TWA, and even a couple of Eastern Air Lines. They're still in pretty good shape, with some of the original contents intact.

I'm not really a collector (yet?), but I think these are pretty cool. Not sure what to do with them, though. Are these things worth anything these days? Should I hang onto them, or maybe trade with someone who's more into this kind of stuff? Also, any tips on how to store them to keep them in good condition?

Let me know what you guys think. I'm kinda curious if anyone else has stumbled upon a similar find or what you'd do with them. Cheers!
That's a cool find! Those old amenity kits can be worth something, especially ones from iconic airlines like Pan Am. Some collectors pay good money for vintage airline stuff. You might want to check eBay to get an idea of their value. If you're thinking of storing them, keep them in a cool, dry place to avoid damage. Maybe even seal them in ziplock bags to keep the contents from deteriorating. If you decide not to keep them, trading or selling to a collector could be fun.
