Package of 3 Vintage Hallowe'en Gummed Seals - Pumpkin & Scarecrow
More Vintage Stickers & Seals
More Hallowe'en
This vintage sticker was produced in the 1930s or 1940s. We believe it to be made by the Dennison Company, but we cannot verify that. Each is very well die-cut with gorgeous printed color which really appears to have been lithographed.
We've packaged them in groups of 3 for your collection or for your crafting. Each sticker measures 1-3/8 inch high by 1-1/4 inch wide.
Because the adhesive on the back is as vintage as the pieces themselves, we recommend that you moisten them with a sponge or cloth. Or, use archival glue or paste instead of the vintage adhesive.
Our illustration only shows 2 of the 3 seals in a package.

Vintage Dennison Gummed Seals - Sheet of 6 Floral Seals
From the famed stationery company, Dennison, these classic gummed seals hail from the mid-20th century. We were fortunate enough to find these gorgeous floral seals. The gummed adhesive is still quite good - it is water active, but, please use a sponge or other applicator to be safe. You might even choose to use another adhesive just in case.
This set of seals features six pretty flowers including a daffodil, daisy, iris and rose.

Complete Booklet of 48 Vintage Dennison Gummed Seals - 6 Different Florals
Single Sheet of These Floral Seals
From the famed stationery company, Dennison, these classic gummed seals hail from the mid-20th century. We were fortunate enough to find these gorgeous floral seals in full packages - as good as new. The gummed adhesive is still quite good - it is water active, but, please use a sponge or other applicator to be safe. You might even choose to use another adhesive just in case.
We love vintage paper and especially gummed seals and especially gummed seals from the Dennison company. Full stapled booklets like these are real treasures for collectors and artists alike. This package originally sold for 25¢ so many years ago - in the mid 20th century.

Vintage Eureka Easter Seals
More Easter & Spring
From new old stock, we have a stapled booklet of 36 cute Easter seals. There are six different die cut designs per page. These are gummed seals - they won't stick unless water activated. They were originally intended to be licked, but because these are vintage and have been stored, we think it best to use a damp sponge or envelope moistener.
These seals are from Eureka, a classic holiday decoration company. We expect that these hail from the 1960s.

Vintage Mint 1966 Circus Clown 5¢ Postage Stamp (USA)
More Ephemera
More Vintage Stickers & Stamps
More Circus, Carnival & Arcade
Oh! That we could mail a simple letter in the USA for only 5¢! But, we cannot! There has been an almost 90% increase in postage since this stamp was originally issued in 1966.
We've collected vintage postage stamps from the USA and around the world since the 1950s. What changes there have been - even in the printing. Although the commemorative stamps today are quite lovely, we are drawn to the older stamps that used process printing and even lithography so long ago.
This funny clown is just right for your circus project - even if it is the Circus of the Soul! Each stamp measures 1 inch wide by just over 1-1/2 inch high. perforations were torn evenly, not cut. Each stamp is packaged in a tiny clear plastic sleeve for safe-keeping.
Stamps from this era, like this one, are gummed rather than self-stick. They were made with water-activated adhesive. If you choose to use this as a stamp (of course it is still good for postage in the USA), or for your artwork, we suggest that you use a sponge or other applicator to activate the adhesive as we do not know the entire provenance of these beauties.

Vintage World War Ii Ration Stamp Assortment of 10 Stamps
During World War II, most of the resources in the United States went to the war effort. This was true in much of the rest of the world at war as well. Citizens were committed to supporting the troops and the government in winning the war - for the most part. In order to assure that resources were used in the best interest of as many as possible, rationing became the norm.
Gasoline, food, mil and many other items were issued to people in exchange for ration stamps. These were assigned in booklets and were taken very seriously. Of course, there was a black market, but most people upheld the law and "bit the bullet" to only use their share.
We have a collection of many different stamps, mostly from the United States, and we've packaged these in assorted groups of 10 for the collector, artist or historian.
The illustration shows a larger group of some of the intact sheets. Your assortment may include 2 or 3 attached coupons or stamps as well as loose ones.
Consider these, too, for a school project on sharing, history or even citizenship.

Authentic Vintage Dennison Superfine Assortment of 48 Christmas Gummed Seals
More Christmas
More Vintage Seals & Stickers
Originally issued back in the late 1940s or 1950s for 10¢ a package, these authentically old gummed stickers are fully intact. These new old stock packages have never been opened, so all the stickers should still be inside. The packages feature old clear plastic windows that have shrunk a bit over the years. But this doesn't seem to have affected the seals in any manner.
We have not opened the packages to see the assortments, but there a appear to be a couple of different selections, each package featuring 3 or 4 different styles of stickers in each one.
Due to their age, we suggest you test the gummed seals before wetting them - or, to be safe, use an additional adhesive of your own. We use a damp sponge to moisten our vintage stickers, thinking it better not to lick them.
These are a very special find, and we think you'll really enjoy them.

Vintage Dennison Gummed Seals - Sheet of 6 Domestic Animals
More Animals
From the famed stationery company, Dennison, these classic gummed seals hail from the mid-20th century. We were fortunate enough to find some old seals, but no complete packages, so we decided to separate them. The gummed adhesive is still quite good - it is water active, but, please use a sponge or other applicator to be safe. You might even choose to use another adhesive just in case.
This set of seals features six cute animals including a collie dog, a kitty cat, a horse, a goat, a pig and a cow.

124 Gummed Stickers - Coats of Arms of the World
More Vintage Stickers
This wonderful sheet of 124 different coats of arms of the world are old-fashioned perforated gummed stickers. The images are in full color and are great for any project relating to world geography, peace or travel. These were printed in 1986, so we're sure some of the countries have changed names and may even have changed their symbols!
Please remember that these are gummed (not self-stick! - they must be moistened before using) and not to be used to replace the true postage necessary for mailing!

Vintage Happee - Merree Christmas Pack - Seals & Tags in Original Package
This delightful and wonderful envelope is filled with Christmas delights. The original envelope contains gummed Christmas seals - the kind that are water-activated. Due to their age, we suggest you test the gummed seals before wetting them - or, to be safe, use an additional adhesive of your own. Of course, when this package was originally available - in 1944, you'd probably lick them. There are also gift tags for your presents.
The outer envelope was to be sealed in the same manner, by water-activated adhesive, but it has loosened on some of the packages and the contents are easily removed. Everything inside is intact - these have never been opened - except for the set we photographed, and that one, we're keeping for ourselves!
These were originally issued by Fred Fear & Company, listed as the packers on the back of the cover envelope. Fred Fear & Co. was originally a manufacturer and distributor of maple syrup, Easter egg coloring and the like. Their factories were located throughout the northeast United States. This package originates in Brooklyn, N.Y. and indicates that they were made in U.S.A. (The periods in the abbreviations mark their age, too.)
The graphics are typical of the 1940s and many of the stickers feature captions, such as:
Christmas Cheer Open DEC.25th. Holiday Greetings Merry Xmas
and more. The text fonts, colors and illustrations are charming and make you want to go back in time.
This package originally sold for 10¢ in 1944 - probably in a five and dime store. Each package contains 80 seals and 20 tags. The outer envelope measures 5-5/8 by 5-1/2 inches. These are in wonderful condition.

This vintage sticker was produced by the Abingdon Press (a publishing house associated with the Methodist Church). Each nicely die-cut with the earthy autumn tones you'd expect when coloring a turkey. Each seal measures 2-1/8 inches high by 7/8 inch at the widest part.
These were originally sold separately, but we've not been able to determine the original price, as they were made in the mid-20th century.

Vintage Package of Peach Seals
Originally issued back in the mid-20th century for 15¢ a package, these authentically old gummed (water-activated) stickers are as vibrantly colored - probably chromolithographed die-cuts. We are always delighted to find these vintage items for you!
Due to their age, we suggest you test the gummed seals before wetting them - or, to be safe, use an additional adhesive of your own.
Made by the famous Dennison Company, each packet contains 20 seals - all peaches.
The vibrant colors are reminiscent of the old die cut chromolithographs. These are truly special and in great condition. Some of the packages have been stapled together. We did not disturb or open the packs for an official count - we like to provided them to you as we originally receive them. So, there may be a few missing from some of the packs, but we don't think so.
Each package has been stamped on the back with:
REMER'S OFFICE SUPPLY 29207 Gratiot 1 Blk. No. of 12 Mile Roseville, Mich. 48066 Phone 778-3446
These are old store stock and would make a fun addition to a summer picnic invitation.

Vintage sheet of Gummed Parcel Post Labels - 8 Labels
Wow! These are great. There are eight labels to a sheet. They are gummed, so the adhesive is water-activated. We suggest that you use other adhesive to apply these to any surface as they are vintage and we're not sure how effective the glue on the back will be.
Each label has a space for your return address (FROM) and a section for the addressee (TO). At the bottom of each label it reads:
PARCEL POST · CONTENTS: MERCHANDISE · RETURN REQUESTED
Each label measures 4-1/4 by 2-3/4 inches. The paper is perforated for easy separation. Some a have a bit of a strip of paper at the bottom that is also removable by perforation. The entire sheet measures about 8-1/2 by 11 inches.

Assortment of Vintage Gummed Seals
The stickers and seals from the early to mid-20th century are beyond compare in their elegance, design, color printing and expert die cutting. We're happy to present a package of 5 assorted die cut gummed seals.
The seals vary in size and shape as well as in subject matter. Some are made of foil and embossed, some are flocked, and some are so intricately cut that you'd wonder how it was accomplished!
Each set is different as we've taken these from our personal collections. Some of them are even quite rare. You can use them in your artwork in much the same manner as die cuts or scraps.
