![]() Moderator 502 forum posts 26 photos | OK - guessing here! CALÇADO is Portuguese for shoe - so either Portugal or Brasil. Beyond that: I can't get a meaning for G.N.I. Sd 2962 is also not obvious! INDUSTRIAIS DE CALÇADO seems to be footwear industry and GRÉMIONACIONAL appears to translate as Gallery. Entry ticket to a shoe museum in Lisbon??!!?? |

13 forum posts 2 photos | Thanks Paul - but I don't think that's quite up to the standard of identification you gave me on my last post. Are there any other offers? |

575 forum posts 242 photos | Evan, it would appear that you are trying to bamboozle some of the helpful people on this forum by depicting a label that is certainly not a postage or revenue stamp. As far as I am concerned Paul has given an adequate description as to the label shown. This is obviously a non-philatelic item and of similar worth to the torn revenue stamp of Thailand previously identified by Paul. STOP BEING SO COCKY ! Fred. |

13 forum posts 2 photos | Fred, I am very sorry to have offended your sensibilities - I am new to this forum after all, and had hoped for a little latitude whilst I got into the swing of things but clearly, its sink or swim for newcomers. I'm new to this hobby and was not intentionally trying to "bamboozle" anyone. A simple response of "its not a postal item" might have sufficed but you seemed to have felt the need to put me in my place. This seems a strange approach to supporting new philatelists and encouraging people to use the forum - but perhaps that's not the objective. I'm just a "Cocky" newcomer - what do I know. Clearly this is a forum for a select few who I am unworthy to join. I shall not bother you again. |

575 forum posts 242 photos | You live and learn by making mistakes Evan, but I hope this hasn't put you off from making further contributions to this forum of a more sensible and considerate nature in future. Yours in respect, Fred. |

13 forum posts 2 photos | I note the comments from Alex earlier perhaps registering similar concerns. Look to the beam in your own eye Fred. |

![]() Moderator 502 forum posts 26 photos | Labels which are not postage or revenue stamps are still collected and many have an interest for philatelists. They are called cinderellas and here is even a club for collectors of such things, be they associated with the anti-TB movement, the red cross, stamp exhibitions, hospital charities or even chocolate! I admit to being bamboozled about things in my own collection (Chinese cinderellas anyone?) so I don't mind adding to the long list. Keep posting Evan and I can at least add what I can deduce from what's on the screen. Happy to try to help |

575 forum posts 242 photos | You shall go to the ball Paul in your new boots or shoes, but I don't think they fit Cinderella, and keep swimming Evan. Fred. |
