Sorry for not updating in so long, but summer is here and I'm busy :)
There probably wont be a lot of updates over the summer.

Have a happy summer everyone!

New Zealand: Airmail labels (Older+Newer)

Airmail labels from New Zealand. Like the economy labels these also look to be from a roll.

Year: 1993, Self-adhesive.


Same design, but the label is smaller to use on normal letters.

Year: 1993, Self-adhesive.


Year: 1999, Self-adhesive.


The labels below are currently in use.

New Zealand: Economy labels (Older+Newer)

Some Economy labels from New Zealand. They all look to be from rolls.

Year: 1993?, Self-adhesive.


Year: 1999?, Self-adhesive.


This last one is currently in use.

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.

Whole sheet, click for bigger image.

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.
