Two Baggage Labels From Ipoh's Grand Hotel
The label on the left , as the title suggests is from the Grand Hotel founded by Pierre Z Creet and which was in operation from 1909 to 1918. The label is 4.75 inches in diameter. It is estimated as dating from 1910.
On the right is a similar label from the same hotel which has been reworked to reflect the cjange of ownership. We estimate this version to be from 1930.
