    Description

    Folks, this great TRIO of Cunard White Star Line heavy stock luggage tags are not just "the real thing," but one of them was used for a piece of luggage owned by Mrs. Edna L. Buchdahl of Albany, N Y, she traveling First Class, Stateroom M-32 on Main Deck of the Caronia. Please note that the image on the front of each of the tags shows the then-new Queen Mary with front and rear masts and three stacks. This marvelous and very rare set
    will certainly make a wonderful gift for any collector of rare and rarely seen items of this type and kind from this famous company or as a great addition to YOUR collection, or as a gift to the ship or seafaring museum nearest you or to your favorite local museum!
    I am certain that our friends at the various museums and historical societies as well as the numerous collectors plus those interested in material such as this will want this rare lot, being offered with a VERY modest min bid and no reserve.
    We suggest you BID EARLY AND BID OFTEN!

I know that you can and do understand (COPY?!!) that, as with all china, silver, photos, negatives, postcards, timetables and paper items that we sell, this rare trio is NON-returnable and NON-refundable, so PLEASE be sure to e-mail any ?? you have PRE-bidding.  As a famous and beloved personage would have said, "fascinating," and as Billy Crystal would say, "this rare group is gaw-giss, dahing, gaw-giss!"  This is a super find for any collector of historic trans-Atlantic steamship items of this type as well as those collecting regional memorabilia, information or material in general from that genre or era and I know that if the late, great Ken Schultz was still with us he would jump at this offering. There is NO reserve on this set and a modest minimum bid.  Pkg/ship/USPS tracking is .95--PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS LOT IS VERY RARE AND MUST BE VERY WELL PROTECTED FOR SHIPPING (That amount for US only, more overseas or to Canada) so BID EARLY AND BID OFTEN!
