As is well documented, a huge amount of these labels were discovered in bonded warehouses in Manchester around the early 1980s when the textile industry was in decline. The buildings were being closed down or demolished. A large variety of images were originally produced. Some of these survived in their hundreds and others in single figures. They are brilliant images - perfect for collecting.
They are made of lovely thick paper, not fabric. They were used to visually identify the different types of fabric when it was exported to countries around the world. An outer cloth was wrapped around the bale of fabric and one of these labels would be attached to it.
Good condition - never used.
Size 6.5" x 5"
A NOTE ABOUT POSTAGE IF YOU WOULD LIKE
TO BUY MORE THAN ONE ITEM:
We really don't want you to overpay on postage or be put off buying
multiple items because of being charged postage on each item.
So to avoid this, please add the items to your basket, then click on
"REQUEST TOTAL FROM SELLER"
(the small box at the top right above the first item in your basket)
We will then send an invoice with combined postage.
If by any chance, you do overpay on postage, we will always refund the difference.
Payment can be made by paypal, UK cheque or bank transfer.
We ship items as soon as possible - usually the same day or the next day.
