Lot 700
Worldwide hotel baggage labels, Collection of more than 2,000 labels with perhaps 1500 being different (often 2-5 of the same label). The labels were produced by hotels to be pasted on suitcases (most are gummed). They vary in size from about 2" x 2" to 4" x 4" with many being die-cut and most being multicolored miniature works of art. Hundreds of hotels are represented from dozens of countries around the world; the time period covered seems to be the 1920s to the 1960s with the newer ones tending to be more plain. A fabulous lot.
