Description
Typically, vintage stickers are made of thin and transparent paper such as glassine , coated on one side with glue . Stickers are issued both in advance bent, and without a bend. In the latter, before application, one third of the parts should be bent up with the glue side out, each part is moistened with water at one point and pressed: the smaller one is on the reverse side of the terminal box in which the pasted philatelic material is embedded, or in the absence of a terminal holder or any other protective coating directly to the most collector's edition; the most part - to the album list.
The sticker should be glued with the minimum possible surface so that, on the one hand, it holds the glued material firmly enough, and on the other, it can be easily removed without damaging either the album sheet itself or the glued material.
The use of self-made stickers, as well as the labels of fields of vintage postage sheets covered with glue, is undesirable, as they can damage philatelic materials.
History
The first stickers for postage stamps began to be applied by Arthur Mori in France in 1867 [1] .
For the first time, factory-made vintage stickers appeared in Germany in 1885. They were produced in the form of sheets and rolls of thin paper with an adhesive layer, which had to be cut into labels of the desired formats. In 1893, stickers were made in Germany, covered with glue on both sides. Such two-sided stickers were not bent over, but were glued by one side to the album sheet, and the other to the collection material, but they did not receive wide distribution.
