Anyone else collect fun vintage labels?

[vintagepretties]

Like many of us.. I love and collect old labels..
my friend "tom the leatherman" designs and creates the most incredible leather clothing you could imagine, but he also does repairs.

this came from a late 70's early 80's jacket he repeaired.. go figure! only 48 stars on the flag, and misspelling.. but i thought it was fun to share!

THAT is funny. MC has a great collection of novelty/cool labels.

I found this one I have saved -

I seem to have deleted all the rest. Perhaps MC will share some of her prizes?

Oh, these are fun! I don't have any really funny ones though...

I don't collect clothing labels (very cool ones, those, Von & Amanda), but I love buying vintage stuff in its original packaging because of the label or box graphics!

Oh yes, MC has a great virtual label collection...

Here is a bunch, that I need to go through and finish photographing:

Thank you for starting this topic, Yvonne.

not a label but imprinted on back of a tie, I thought is cute.

 

[catseyevintage]

Von ~ I don't have any cute or unusual labels, but wanted to say this is a great thread!

 

[retro ruth]

I don't have much but...

First I just had to say SNAP!

Then I do like this one with the little naked ladies:

And though not strictly a label, I'm smitten with these stockings packet graphics, and I think you peeps will appreciate it - they are gold glitter stockings.
