The Golden Age of Travel occurred between 1890 and the outbreak of World War II. In this period wonderful hotels abounded, and the various modes of transport reached their glorious apogee. The labels which were placed on luggage by railroads, steamships or hotels beautifully capture the spirit of the era. Our boxed set contains a booklet by Harold Darling on this time and its labels, and forty facsimiles of remarkable labels, each die-cut and self-adhesive. They can be used for a near infinitude of decorative purposes, including the enrichment of one's luggage.

Terrific Luggage Labels,

This review is from: Luggage Labels And the Golden Age of Travel (Misc. Supplies)
This booklet and 40 luggage labels does the trick! I wanted to decorate an old travel case and didn't want to go to the expense of buying lots of vingage luggage labels that are now worn and easy to tear, so I bought this collection and it's perfect! Clear, crisp images of various sizes and from lots of different hotels around the world. I was more than pleased!

This review is from: Luggage Labels And the Golden Age of Travel (Misc. Supplies)
The book and labels are fantastic! I purchased some old luggage, applied these labels, and had instant, vintage luggage! The labels are great reproductions with vivid color. The booklet has a lot of information on the history of luggage labels and the Golden Era of travel. A great addition to any collection!
