| One of my favorite Hess labels, this art was used on the Hess 1035 series of trains. | ||||
| Probably the most used of the Hess labels is this image which was used on the series 100 and series 575 for many years. | ||||
| An interesting departure from the traditional “H” within a shield logo is this label which uses the city of Nuremberg crest inside the shield. | ||||
| This box appears to have been used on at least two different large trains which Hess produced, both before litho directly on tinplate. The loco and cars shown are pasted paper to tinplate. | ||||
| Hess sold primarily through distributors and apparently had no problem with co-branding. This very graphically striking label co-branded with Excelsior Tin Toys of the W.P. &S., London. |

| Custom box label for Ambras Castle gift shop. Ambras Castle (German: Schloss Ambras Innsbruck) is a Renaissance castle and palace located in the hills above Innsbruck, Austria. Considered one of the most popular tourist attractions of the Tyrol, this box label was affixed to an early Hess 100 series train with 14 cars (the largest set for this series train. The label is in four different languages. Hess sold mainly through distributors and many custom labels were created for their toys such as this one. | ||||
Hess 100 series train early box label. This label may have been used on other train boxes, but it is the only example I have observed. The contents were a very early 100 series locomotive with tall, flared stack and early, large outline numeral wagons.
