Airline Ephemera: Baggage Labels and Posters

By Sara Gradwohl

Daniel Kusrow, past editor of the “Labels and Stickers” section for the Captain’s Log, recently gave a video lecture for the American Air Mail Society on the history of airline baggage label collecting.

In the recording, produced by the American Air Mail Society and the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library, Kusrow covers many aspects of airline ephemera, including airline baggage labels, various other types of labels and posters. You’ll see many stickers from both WAHS and Airliners International.

We invite you to watch Daniel’s in-depth and informative lecture.
