I hit a nice surprise on a recent auction. I was bidding on notebooks of stamps, and ended up with 30 really nice binders with recent Harris pages. I added my pre-1960 Minkus pages for a nice set of albums. I need to add some more pages, so I'd like to get a few more binders for expansion. The problem-I can find no identification or brand name on these binders. They are brown vinyl, oversized page width, three ring binders, two to a slip case. Each binder has an elastic loop on the bottom to help pull from the case. The only writing I find is "assembled in Mexico" in tiny gold letters on the back. I would like more of these, or something even somewhat similar that won't look too bad. Any ideas?

I would start by getting a large clear image of that logo at the bottom of the spine.

Then drag that image into Google Images and let it search for a similar logo

Unfortunately, those are number stickers on the spine, not logos or icons. I had trouble loading a high-res image from my phone. The previous owner had put number stickers on each notebook to keep them in order. I added the white paper with country names above them. Thanks for the idea, though!

I'm in a search for the right album set for my needs. Key thing you did not mention about your album find -- Describe the ring, or post, or other mechanism to hold the pages. I have 3 different albums, but the pages are not interchangeable. One is a Scott album with 2 pegs. One is a newer Scott with 2 posts. The third is a very recent Mystic Heirloom which is a traditional 3-ring mechanism.

I am gathering sample pages for the available US hingeless systems. Most manufacturers are not compatible with others.

They look like a binder I bought several years ago from Canadian Wholesale supply. The one I have is not two to a slipcase, but still similar in appearance. I believe they were called "Brilliant Binders."

Still available, I believe -- see link:

Thanks for all the help. I believe these are indeed not philatelic binders, but those used for a business or bank. I did forget to mention they are three-ring. Many of the pages in them were two-hole, but have been repunched and trimmed to fit. I am doing the same with the supplements I have added. I don't think I can perfectly match them, so I'm just going with brown binders that look similar from an office supply.
