The orange-colored cloth mail pouch marked "Domestic, U.S. Air Mail, 2 [referring to bag capacity]" was gathered as crime evidence along with multiple items including some of the stowaway's in-flight gear that is now in the museum's collection: a pair of lined boots (2013.2011.26.1-.2) and an oxygen tank (2013.2011.28).
