Processing in some items from a recent donation and I came across a clear bag with a cap and label with the following text. "URINE SAMPLE BAG, Whirlpool Corp. P/N 9557-3-485." That this was in a bag with two pocket reference books on Gemini systems from Garrett, Airesearch Division leads me to think that this item was from the Gemini Program. Can anyone confirm this?

I can confirm that 9557-3-485-3 is a Gemini urine sample bag which fits your description in appearance (based on a NASA report on Government Furnished Equipment for Gemini). (I'm not sure of the significance of the extra "-3," maybe a revised version.)
