Vintage Paper Shopping Bag

Up for auction is a vintage Bloomingdale's paper shopping bag, with brown raffia cord handles at the top for carrying.  The bag was created for a sale of Chinese exports being sold at Bloomingdale's, and features the Great Wall of China, along with a Chinese Pagoda.  It measures approximately 16.5 inches tall (not counting the handles), 12 inches wide, and 5.875 inches deep (when opened).  The shopping bag was obtained from Bloomingdale's Flagship Department Store, in New York City, in the late 1970's to early 1980's, and made in the U.S.A., by the Equitable Bag Co., Inc., of New York.

The shopping bag is in great, vintage condition, with no writing on it, nor any other damage that I can detect.  However, there may be a few small tears or chips to the paper along the top edge.  In addition, there is a diagonal crease at the top of the bag on one side, as well as a horizontal crease near the bottom of the bag where it has been folded, and it will be shipped as folded.  

At this time and over the next few months I will be listing a number of similar shopping bags.  If you are interested in this item, please check out the other listings that I have.  The cost of shipping for the first shopping bag is $9.95, and then only an additional $2.95 for each additional shopping bag that is able to be mailed out at the same time.

Terms:  All sales final.  Paypal only.  I will ship USPS mail.  The listed shipping and handling charges are for the continental United States only.  All others must wait for a revised invoice with additional charges for air mail service. 

Thank you for looking.  If you have any questions or would like additional information or pictures, please e-mail me as I would be happy to provide additional details.  Please note that all items being sold come from a smoke-free and pet-free home.  I am not a professional dealer, and am simply downsizing after years of collecting.  I try very hard to accurately list and describe the condition of each item that I sell, and can appreciate the frustration of receiving an item that is not as described.  Being human, I will occasionally make a mistake, and may miss a flaw or imperfection that would leave one dissatisfied with their purchase.  If this occurs, and you feel that the item you receive is not as described, please contact me immediately.  My goal is that each individual who buys from me is happy with their purchase.
