"Welcome to the Mid Century Modern Sticker, Label and Stamp Club."
says ring leader Dave (Grain Edit). He continues: "This group features Stickers, Labels and Stamps from the mid 1950s to the mid 1970s. This would include: vintage matchbox labels, buvards / blotters, luggage Labels, airline labels and stickers, first day covers and stamps.
We are particularly interested in Eastern European match box labels ( czech republic, hungary, yugoslavia, russia etc.) Airline labels + stickers from Swiss Air, Boac, Braniff, Air France, Air India, SAS, CSA , Sabena and Varig and French Buvards ( especially ones by Herve Morvan, Raymond Savignac and Lefor Openo)"

Even more Swedish Soft Drink Labels?! Yep, you bet! How do you like these beauties? I've tried - not very easy - translating the Swedish text from the site where they were found:
"Sound effects soft drinks. These four spectacular soft drinks were on the market in 1985-1986. They were soon to be criticized for containing questionable chemical substances... (!!)
Flämt! - Came in light blue and light green design and tasted smågodis. (various kinds of candy with a sometimes diffuse flavor to it)
Gulp! - With the taste of sega bananer (banana flavored foamy candy) and had an intense yellow translucent color.
Plonk! (!!) - Perhaps the least known of the quartet with a taste of godiskulor (ie, blueberries - and boysenberries candy flavourings)
Wroom! - Hallongelé (Raspberry jelly candy) colored beverage with the taste of ... raspberry jelly candy.
The images and the original Swedish text are found at den nostalgiska läsksidan via the (sometimes) very kind gåsmannen who also recommended this label collector site.

Ephemera: Mecano Boy
"I am not entirely sure what these are. A friend bought them in a street market in France. I can't decide whether they are clothing labels or badges to be sewn on. I suspect labels ... "

Vintage beverage: Zingo
Zingo 70s style. Image was found here.
"Zingo is a Swedish soft drink. Zingo was introduced during the 1950s as Ingo-dricka ("Ingo drink"), named after the boxer Ingemar "Ingo" Johansson. After Ingo lost the world championship in heavy weight boxing the drink was renamed Zingo in 1962." - From Wikipedia

Vintage beverage: Cuba Cola
"Cuba Cola was the first cola in the Swedish market - introduced in 1953 and still going strong. The label has been kept unchanged over the years and is a good example of true 50s design. The taste is characterized by the robust taste of cola and many think this is what a real cola should taste like." - Krönleins Bryggeri
"The recipe is owned by Saturnus AB of Malmö and it's brewed on license by Vasa bryggeri, Heines bryggeri, Guttsta Källa and Krönleins." - Wikipedia
"Saturnus produced a great many products during the Second World War to supplement products that were in short supply, and thus became even more well known in Swedish households. " / ". At the same time, the trendy post-War fashions from the USA resulted in a great deal of interest in Cola drinks. The debate was heated, and Coca Cola wasn't allowed to market its products in Sweden until 1953. Saturnus was ready - Cuba Cola was launched a few months before Saturnus' American competitor began marketing its products." - Saturnus
"... beating Coca-Cola by three months. The soft drink has in reality nothing to do with the country of Cuba, although it serves as an alternative cola drink to the many anti-American (or anti-globalization) youths of Sweden." - Wikipedia

Travel ephemera: Art of the Luggage Label
"Welcome to my image stream and information resource devoted to the art of luggage labels and related travel ephemera. Luggage labels are fascinating bits of hotel history from the golden age of travel, roughly the 1900's to 1960's. During this time these labels were used by hotels as advertising and eagerly applied to steamer trunks, suitcases and all sorts of luggage by hotel staff, mainly bellhops."
