TRUNK/BAG/LUGGAGE TAG
Handwritten MISS IVA BROWN
Rare and charming piece of early 20th-century travel/hotel history! This original vintage luggage tag is from the historic Grunewald Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, addressed to Miss Iva Brown.
The Grunewald was a luxury hotel opened in the late 1800s and later renamed the Roosevelt Hotel, now part of the Waldorf Astoria collection.
Details:
* Original hotel-issued paper/card-stock luggage tag
* Name handwritten: Miss Iva Brown
* Twisted twine string still intact
* Crisp GRUNEWALD HOTEL logo in what appears to be navy blue
* Estimated circa 1910s-1930s
* Excellent display piece for vintage travel or hotel memorabilia collectors
* Good vintage condition with mild signs of age, some creasing.
A fantastic addition to any collection of antique ephemera, New Orleans history, or hospitality memorabilia.
