This American icon company was around from 1926 to 1991. One of "The Big Four' airlines in our history that no one could imagine would not exist today. This airline couldn't or didn't want to admit defeat as Eastern Airlines stopped flying at midnight on Saturday, January 19, 1991. The previous evening, company agents, unaware of the decision, continued to take reservations and told callers that the airline was not closing. 1991 was a rough year for airlines as we lost Pan Am and Midway also.

This is such a neat piece of Americana that will only become rarer as time goes by.
