France: Priority labels, postage paid

I got some more labels from France in the mail today. I hadn't seen the labels before today and I find them really interesting. They look like the other 'Prioritaire' labels, except the labels are kind of split in 2. The white side explaining that the postage had been paid* (*As far as I understand)

The labels come from a sheet of 57 labels.

Received in 2011.

Year: ?, Self-adhesive.

USA: Airmail labels

Here we have two of the same airmail labels (19-A) from the US and you can see how the design/size have changed over time. The labels come on a pad of 40 labels. The labels are quite big, so I think they are used for packages.

Year: 1992, Self-adhesive.


Year: 1997, Self-adhesive.

USA: Priority

Another priority label from the US. This one comes from a roll of labels.

Year: 2008, Self-adhesive.

USA: Express

Express label from the US. It used for 'outside shipment' and to be honest I'm not quite sure what that means. International shipping?
The label comes on a sheet of 2 labels.

Year: 2006, Self-adhesive.

Labels I got in 2010:


As you can see the font is different.

France: Priority labels, New?

Some time ago I got some labels from France. When I was about to put them into a folder, I noticed that they looked different then the ones I already have.

As you can see the color is much darker and the front is also different.

Greece: Airmail labels

I just got these labels from Greece. The thing is I have been told that airmail labels are no longer used in Greece, now I'm not so sure. Maybe someone can help out? Maybe they are leftovers from when they were in print?

They look like the ones listed in the airmail labels catalogue from 1987.

Year: 1987?, Gummed.
