Same label, different words

Blue border labels, 50 x 35 mm, about 1500 different names known

In The Netherlands a lot of labels were issued from the end of the 1950’s until the mid 1970’s with a same design layout. But all these labels have different names on them.

In this Exhibit I will show you the most common labels that were available, as a sample of everything that was issued at the time. Although similar label designs can be found from Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and Finland, the labels I am Exhibiting here are not commonly known outside The Netherlands.

It is very difficult to get all these labels in your collection, as we are still discovering new labels which have not been documented.
