What are these listed as? Postal meters maybe? I have quite a few of these large behemoths but unsure what to do with them yet? Anyone collect these?  |

Jeff, that's a Horizon label. I found a website/blog about collecting them: Labels on the Gold HorizonI've started picking up Machins here and there, but I don't believe I have any of these labels. |

That one is from a town in Wales, they are printed from the post offices in the UK, they are mainly used on large envelopes, packets and parcels, the A is for airmail though I guess you knew that, NP18 (Newport) depicts the area postcode it was issued, there is a collecting area for these but I have no interest in this area. |

These won't be listed...at least not by Gibbons. They are labels dispensed by the Postal Teller/clerk. Printed by De La Rue in Tete-Beche pairs for ease of cancelling. Zuzu....I'll send a few to you on piece. Don't try to soak them off, they will die before your eyes !!  Exist with straight edge and perforated die-cuts.   You will notice all the security features as seen on the regular Machin Definitives.  Londonbus1 |

For those willing to mess around with chemicals to remove self-adhesive stamps from paper, these Horizon labels can be removed from their backing paper. The security cuts make it a little bit difficult, so you have to be careful. But on a good note, the thermal printing on the label isn't affected and the print remains dark.  Ryan |

I have quite a few of these but most are still on piece. I was just curious if they was of interest to anyone as I was straightening up and didn't know what to do with them or how to file them.

Jeff, I'd be happy to have them if you're offering. And this reminds me that I have something to drop in the mail to you.

Yeah, OK but please allow my gimpy butt to find the rest of them. I think I have like 5 or 6 and one is even on a parcel top from Davey Jones (yes that one). I'll have to double check and make sure I still have all this foreign (to me) as I don't want to promise anything to anyone until I make certain you know? You have all been so very kind to me I just wish I could somehow make a grand gesture of my appreciation some how? When I tell you that I am truly blessed to have friends like you all - I MEAN IT! My family has even distanced themselves from me (I guess too much tragedy this year really has them spooked I'm guessing?) PLUS I live about 100 miles from any friends or family (who besides facebook hasn't helped or contributed in any sort of way) So, I look upon you all as close family.  So I'll hop off my soapbox now but you get the picture right?Sincerely -Jeff |

LOL And, not to get too mushy-sounding, but your continued posting and sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm is plenty grand enough for me.  |

Yes he was a dear friend of our family and key to my success in the music industry. I have a lot of stuff with his name on them but mostly to him though. I really miss him. I'm the guy who could have really got Davey Jones to go to your prom. lol To elaborate a little Johnny J. Blair "Singer at large" is my cousin but we're very close and he actually was Davey's right hand man and guitarist/Bassist in his band right up till the end. You should google him. He's a great guy and loves to make new friends. Zuzu you are a true sweetheart and I'm very proud to call you a friend. Sincerely -Jay |

The Monkees were probably my first "girly" obsession, which was, I suppose, an indication of things to come once puberty hit. I don't think my poor mom would have watched that 20th Anniversary marathon of Monkees episodes on MTV if she'd had any idea. |

I don't think my poor mom would have watched that 20th Anniversary marathon of Monkees episodes on MTV if she'd had any idea. When I was a young pup, my parents upgraded their old tube radio / record player console thing, and I got to keep that in my room. I was also given a pile of unwanted records, which included the first Monkees album. Somehow, that has led to me owning the complete series of the TV show on DVD ... ha ha Ryan |

Most memorable for me "Valeri' featuring Lou Shelton whose style Mike later attempted to copy on stage.

A couple of years ago I saw the whole collection in a box at the local thrift charity store. But they were VHS and the cover boxes were well banged up and held with tape, not well kept.
