Although the huge collection I built up was really about being in Manchester when the textile merchants were closing down in the 1980’s, a good source for anyone wanting to start collecting shipper’s tickets is eBay.
Often described as “fabric labels” or “linen labels”, there are a few that appear for sale ranging from $5 to $50 each.
The following designs from merchant operating in the Far East were recently offered by a German eBay store seller (email can be provided on request) and really are some great old examples of trademarks that still pop up now and again.
Just don’t bid against me please!
