Anyone into collecting vintage airline luggage tags?

So, I've been diving into the world of vintage airline luggage tags, and it's kind of addicting. Found a couple from the 1960s and 70s at a local thrift shop, and they're such a cool piece of history. The designs are super retro, and I love how each one is like a mini time capsule of airline branding.

I've got a few from Pan Am, TWA, and even one from a really obscure airline that doesn't exist anymore. I'm thinking about framing them or maybe making a coffee table display. But honestly, not sure how to go about it.

Anyone else here into collecting these little pieces of aviation history? How do you display or store yours? And if you've got any tips on where to find more, especially from airlines that are long gone, I'm all ears!
I've got a small collection myself, mostly from garage sales and flea markets. Framing them sounds like a solid idea, especially if you've got some rare ones. Keeps them safe and makes for a nice display. For finding more, I've had luck checking out estate sales and sometimes eBay, though prices there can get a bit high. If you're ever in the area, some aviation museums have gift shops with vintage stuff too. What's the obscure airline tag you found? Always cool to hear about those!
