Faroe Islands: Older labels
This is an older package label from the Faroe Islands. The label is not 100% complete. Like the older Danish labels posted here. The Faroe Island label also had a small airmail label in the left corner, which has been taken off.
Nowadays the Faroe Islands use the same labels as Denmark.

Switzerland: Older labels
Some older labels from 'Swissair'.
According to Wikipedia:
"Swissair AG (Swiss Air Transport Company Limited, Schweizerische Luftverkehr) was the former national airline of Switzerland.
It was formed from a merger between Balair and Ad Astra Aero (To the Stars), in 1931. For most of its 71 years, Swissair was one of the major international airlines and known as the "Flying Bank" due to the financial stability of the airline, causing it to be regarded as a Swiss national symbol and icon. It was headquartered at Zurich Airport in Klote."
The airline was founded in 1931 and ceased operations in 2002.
I'm pretty sure the labels are from the 1960's. They all look to be from a pad.
