Default old labels

Wow, so we are able to put a place and hopefully a range of dates on the labels. Am glad I took those pics before I installed the leather. And that Ricky saved them when I attached them to an email, I no longer have them in my iPhone's photo file!

I found some nice Japanese papers wrapped around the tang of a wakizashi, these little finds are so interesting.

Rick, you have also a label of US Ballantine beer!

Papers travel fast and Indian or US labels don't mean a lot, unless you have some dates on them.

Sorry Kubur, I was still working on the Ballantine thing. You will note my update was 1 hour before your post......
