    While looking for something else the other day, I ran across these.
    Any ideas about the age of them?

    Thank you, Davey!
    hmm To me, it looks a little modern for 1910, but then I am not really up on 1910 travel posters.
    Off I go to see if there are others from that time frame.
    I know I couldn't find any that looked like this when I searched before, but I may have missed it - I'm old.

    I found it by putting "Savoy Hotel Florence" in Google images and scrolled right down ;)

    Do you think these are all from the pre WWII era?

    These all look to be what I call the pre-deco period, between Art Nouveau and what they called Moderne, in 1925.

    Thank you, lilfont, I was able to find a bunch of ones published by F.I A. R Milano, which is who published the Venezia label, and they all *appeared* to be from the 1930s, or there about.
    Still nothing concrete on the other three, so your time frame is helpful.

    Next question . . . I have duplicates of the one from Venezia, and the Grand Hotel Napoli - do you think I should sell them together, or separately?

    That depends on the value and who wants them. If they're worth over $5 ea, I would not post duplicates in the same lot, but post all lots at the same time for combined shipping. If they are worth over $20 ea., I would post at different times, so as not to flood the market. If they are worth under $5 ea, I would put all, including duplicates, in the same lot, a collector will want extras for trade, a decorator or prop manager will find a use for them on old luggage.

    Alas, since I can't tell what they might be worth, that wouldn't work.
    I think I will just list separately, and see what happens.

    I just did a quick ebay search for:
    (unused, vintage) luggage (sticker, label)
    and found bidders on stickers from your period at $33.21, $10, I didn't check sold items or shipping.

    It seems the collectors are out there and willing to pay for them. Single listings might be best, as shipping is going to be small and not much of a concern to the collector.

    Especially since I have free shipping. LOL
