Received from Denmark today, this lovely example of a 12 x 3.5cm label with subtle orange barcoding - I expect it has a proper name among barcode lovers - affixed probably by a British PO clerk who must have guessed I adore destroying pleasantly cancelled stamps and even a colourful mini-sheet for the sake of my label-collecting hobby. Wrong guess.
For you label lovers out there, the bars go in groups of 54841511122142, which I know will mean much to you.
Meanwhile, I may be able to save the stamps and the MS with some judicious soaking, but I doubt I can save the cover itself.
(As always, ignore the purple-grey shadows on the scan, a feature of my HP Deskjet 1514 which abhors covers, labels and stamps alike.)
You need to do this while the gum on the label is still "fresh". Like many adhesives once the thing starts to "cure" all is lost ( like the sticky labels on plastic plant pots which go all brittle and sticky at the same time and cover your fingers when you try to peel them off).
