Postal Etiquettes And/Or Labels From Around The World

Last night I managed to put together in one album all the off-paper labels.
tonight it was the turn of some of the on-paper.

Yikes !







Found a few weird and wonderful bits

Here's one from Olympia, Namibia with Registered Label and air mail pair. Sadly the receiving Labels have not been used as they should have been.

Totally off topic, but perhaps relevant to all.

Just be aware of scum tactics of large insurance companies
when insuring your home.

For a lot of Queensland people, they did not have
a "flood", they had a "Riverine inundation"
thereby giving the insurance companies a nice
little hole to squirm out of.
Leaving ordinary people, who didn't read their 360 pages
of fine print, possibly uninsured.

Very tasty Etiquettebus!
When faced myself, with what looks like a mountain
of work, I place in a drawer, and attack a set amount each week,
otherwise cataloguing such amounts can be depressing.
Be careful with those scissors.
...and do I spy Stanley Gibbons SOTW simplified? Eeek!

Nice lot of stamps 'Etiquettebus' or maybe 'Airbus' ?

Would other suggest soaking or clipping a lot of stamps like these?

L.B.



Could you please explain to me what you mean?

Lucky

.....Great idea !




I have soaked many in the past, the regular gummed labels soak easily. But nowadays, most etiquettes are self-adhesive and soaking often leaves frayed paper around the edges of the label. It looks tacky so I prefer to cut around the them.
have to say though not an ideal situation as some are on thicker paper or card and are difficult to arrange on some leaves.






I will try Lucky, but I stand corrected should another with Knowledge of Israel Ports and airports more than I, come forward

The piece you saw previously came from Namibia and arrived at Ben Gurion Airport. At the sorting office, a Registered and barcoded arrival label bearing the same number was printed. This proves the packet arrived in Israel. From there it would go to the respective distribution centre and one of the two identical stickers would be removed.
The other sticker should be removed when it is signed for by the customer. Each of these stickers is attached to a form so show where it is on the journey.
The example shown is thus sad because it means that two places on the journey within Israel were not doing their jobs properly.

These labels are not always attached to incoming mail and I have previously tried to find out why, without luck.
I have examples with one and both stickers used.

Stamped in blue ink on the envelope just in from Poland, Feb 2011:

Here are a few from Mexico.

I don't remember where these came from; I just like them.

Crikey, we are getting some lovely scans on SCF lately,
the Mexican etiquettes are fantastic.

Your Bijar Tony looks like Indonesia,
perhaps the other Tony could assist with script ID.

The neat part of this one is a foreign label for a domestic flight.

I like your black on yellow air mail.
I have just checked all my stickers and have not found a single one that even comes close to it.
I would like to d/l your picture for my collection (with your permission, of course) but unless someone can come up with a country of origin I would have to call it "unidentified-001".
I wonder if my mate Rod222 can help me with an id here?

Here is my "Unidentified002".
Would appreciate if someone put a country name to it.
Thanks in advance.

Tony, sure by all means download it and if any other of my scans peak your interest they are fair game.
