This little label is no great work of art or of any great value, but it's got my curiosity going. Received it in a batch off ebay.

Any thoughts what it is or where it may have come from?

Note - this is the first item I've posted. I'll try to produce something more interesting next time. Blushing

Dogs are my favorite people. I hang with this one as often as I can.

It's shaped like home plate. Could that be a clue?

Maybe a sticker for a minor league baseball team?

Hi James,

A while ago someone posted a helpful hint on how to use Google to search for images. I could not locate that old topic; if anyone recalls the topic perhaps it could be helpful to post the link to that discussion?

In any event, if you search for the image, the best hit is an advertizement for the Dutch (?) Roxy cigarette brand, see here:

Did a google search for the image and also came up with Roxy Sigaretten

Thanks very much. I think you are correct. Looking on the back of it I see remnants of a yellowish paper with white fibres criss crossing through it. I think this was a label helping to hold a cigarette package shut.
I'm convinced!

The Google image search tip is in the 2nd post in this thread

Yes, Ted, that was you. Thanks again. The tip has helped me before, not just on this occasion.
