I've been dismantling an old album I got a auction a while ago. The pages included these flag and arms labels produced to decorate each country's opening page. And, you know...I just can't throw them out!



I know they valueless, but I've decided they will occupy a couple of vario pages in my cinderella collection.
Anyone else hang on to these, or am I the only obsessive?

Not only do I hang on to them, I collect them ! Full sheets are very attractive [when one can find them] and there are many different types. And of course many of the Flags saw their last service long ago.....great fun to collect.

Some of them come in their own advertising glassine.....oh no! Don't get me started on that........

Somewhere in a tote I have full packages of the flags as well as US presidents . They were from a local collector who picked them as well as some repro confederate maps and confederate currency at Greenfield Village / Henry Ford Museum in Michigan USA. I believe they were picked up mid 70's and the flags/ presidents had a price tag of 19 cents for the package.
