overall: 4 x 6 5/16 in.
An unused Cunard Line label with adhesive backing to stick on luggage. The image on the left shows a stylized version of the distinctive Cunard funnel, while the right hand would have the passenger's information. At the bottom is written "Not wanted on the voyage," so this would presumably go in a cargo hold rather than cluttering a stateroom. In small font, there is a printing date of "10/61."These kinds of labels were useful for sorting luggage but were also popular with passengers as souvenirs.
