Does anyone else collect vintage airline luggage tags?

Started by SamuelAirside32 2 weeks ago 2 replies 44 views
So, I've recently gotten into collecting vintage airline luggage tags. I found a few old ones from the 80s in a thrift store, and now I'm hooked! There's something really cool about seeing the old logos and designs. Airlines like Pan Am and TWA had some pretty iconic looks back then.

I'm curious if anyone else here collects these? I've been trying to figure out the best ways to display them. Right now, I've got them in a shadow box, but I'm thinking about framing them individually. Also, does anyone know if there's a good online marketplace or forum where people trade or sell these?

Would love to hear from anyone who's into this or if you have any tips on where to find more. It's kind of a niche thing, but I've seen some amazing collections online. Any advice would be awesome!
I've been collecting those tags for a while now! You're right, the designs from Pan Am and TWA are classics. I use a big corkboard to pin mine up. It lets me rearrange them whenever I get new ones. As for buying or trading, eBay sometimes has good finds, but prices can get steep. There's also a Facebook group where collectors trade and sell. Just keep an eye out for fakes, especially with the more popular airlines. What's the oldest tag you've got so far?
