North Eastern Railway luggage label, in condition as shown

The North Eastern Railway was formed in 1854 from an amalgamation of 3 railway companies and subsequently took over other Companies including the Stockton & Darlington. The earliest labels have no Company heading, then came the initials N.E.R. and finally the title in full, with printing dates & batch qunatities showing from 1878 to 1897. Labels to non NER destinations were colour coded, either black on coloured paper or a coloured print on white paper. The originating station was preprinted on labels from some larger stations and most labels measure between around 80mm to 90mm by 46mm.There are also some curious labels headed with the full title, but clearly LNER issues as they are dated 1934.
