Esperanto labels come in many varieties.
There are
International Esperanto events
National and local exhibits
Various promotions in different languages
Non Esperanto events published in Esperanto
Related organizations
And then there is IDO, a derivative of Esperanto which gained some popularity primarily through the efforts of Tobbler Chocolates who put collectible "IDO" cards in their products.
The green star that appears on most labels is the symbol of Esperanto

OF NOTE - There are also regular postage stamps with an Esperanto theme - The American Topical Association lists 193 (actually updated to 200). I have not however come across any Esperanto Catalog which would surely list thousands of labels.

If someone thinks of this as a topical - drop me a line & I will send you a list of the 200 stamps

    

   







This stamp from Yugoslavia (1953) issued in 15d & 300d values is an example of regular postage Esperanto issues
The 15d has a CV of about $5
the 300d  shown (not mine) is about $400+
So in a topical Esperanto collection it would probably be on the Wish List

As mentioned, IDO was a temporary reformation of Esperanto
Tobler Chocolats wasthe prime benefactor of the movement and they put out about 1000 collectible stickers with their products.
The issues were based on themes such as astronomy, western indians, fictional characters and ancient egypt and the 4 elements pictured below.

These could just as easily have sat under a TB Seals thread or general Charity Label one. But let's put them here, at least for now.

I just fell in love with the design when I saw them at a dealers table in Artesa de Segre recently. They also exist Imperf. (More stamps to buy !!)

Well yes, two of them anyway. I got them from a dealer who had a small section of Esperanto Labels and they were altogether. He could not recall if there was some event on at the time as there were many Esperanto gatherings and Congresses in Catalonia. Two are inscribed in Esperanto and three in Spanish.
