Ireland: Stamp Booklet

These labels were kindly sent to my by Evaldas from the myairmaillabels blog.

The labels are currently also used in Ireland. They come from a stamp booklet of international stamps. 10 in total. As you can see they are much smaller in size then the other current labels I have posted from Ireland.

Year: ?, Self-Adhesive.

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.
