I posted a bunch of interesting labels on covers in a different topic. I also have a pretty good collection of Union Patriotic Labels (not printed patriotic covers - there's lots of them). Here are a few to get this topic going. First, a couple of original sheets of labels as sold by the printers: Snow and Hapgood:  And C.Y. Haynes & Co.:   |

Very nice material. If you haven't done so already, I looked up the page entitled "Henry J. Howland" and came up with this logo he used on his business receipts:  Apparently a well regarded printer in his day from Worcester, Massachusetts (not Worchester). |

Thanks, I had seen a copy of that bill head in Google Images. I hope to eventually turn up an advertisement for these labels in a local newspaper or something similar.

For a Flag Collector, this thread is truly amazing.
Such wonderful pieces, superb presentation and 'to die for' Flag Cindrellas.
Thanks for showing. This week is turning out to be rather special....and it's not even the weekend yet !
