****VINTAGE LUGGAGE LABELS!
Ah the romance of train travel—and luggage labels—vintage labels! In the days before anonymous soft-sided luggage and cheap travel, where a person visited, how they got there, where they stayed, when they began their traveling life, even how wealthy they were, was chronicled on their leather suitcases in colorful labels. The image of one of these portmanteaus, smattered with scenes of Venice, Cairo and “the Orient” sitting next to a waiting car, airplane or ocean liner, is the very symbol of adventure and romance.
