Simple curiosity, just in case before I throw it in the recycle bin. Is anyone collecting these? Thanks!

Best regards

OK, thanks both of you! I knew I had to ask here... BTW, how are these "stamps" called? "Self-adhesive printed stamps" or something like that?
If you're interested in a exchange, just let me know. I collect Europe pre 1930, UK until QEII.
Thanks again and best regards

The proper name for these is Horizon Postage Indicator Labels.

Does the same type with an "A" in place of the "ITS" have a name or designation? I received mail today with an "A" indicator, where the ITS is; below the line reads "Royal Mail.h" ?
Thanks,
Hal

I also collect these as part of a machin head collection, but now realize they come with different letters. Thanks!
