A highly unusual and collectible piece of Greek aviation and travel history: an authentic vintage Olympic Airways “For Your Correspondence” writing folder with original stationery.
Produced for the passengers of Olympic Airways, this elegant correspondence portfolio reflects the sophisticated presentation and distinctive design associated with Greece’s legendary national airline during the golden age of international air travel.
The folder features a deep navy-blue padded faux-leather/vinyl exterior with striking gold hot-stamped Olympic Airways branding, including the iconic Olympic rings logo and the wording “for your correspondence.”
