- About this Item
- Shop Policies
Set of 3 very rare, 1940’s vintage luggage stickers, in colorful letter- size (A4) PDF. The perfect way to add a touch of a bygone era to your luggage, water bottle or craft projects.
The original luggage stickers were collected individually, over many months from thrift stores and flea markets in Rome, Italy. After being scanned they were restored by a Digital Artist and made ready to add a well-traveled flourish to your home decor or personal objects.
Set includes:
1. Round Label from 1940 – “Worlds Fair at New York – 1940 by Greyhound”
2. Oval Label from 1940- “TWA the Transcontinental Airline”, “Let’s go! USA ” and “Keep ’em flying”
3. Square Label from 1936 – “TWA First”, “The Lindberg Line”
Historically luggage stickers not only marked where a person had been, but also served as an advertisement for hotels, airlines, ocean liners and railroads. Widely used during the end of the 19th century – they quickly developed into a popular artform. WWII then stopped or greatly slowed international travel in the mid 20th century – and so slowed luggage label production, making vintage labels both valuable and highly sought after by collectors.
Print, peel, and apply a little bit of vintage luxury, anywhere you like.
