Some beautiful and very old Bernard Fürth's (and one ARTB label of Adalbert Scheinost) Austrian labels were added to my collection latly and I will be happy to show them to you out there

This one is very interesting one since it has the name of Bernard Fürth on it,
but it is probably from Sweden.
Label show 2 odd figures, Wajang maybe.

My small Fürth's Elephant collection. The blue long one and the big one
at the bottom, are for export to Italy.
The blue long one was used for wrapping old wooden matchbox.

These 3 labels are very colorful and well preserved for their age and were aimed to the Chinese market:

Very nice long label showing a Unicorn in some kind of a basket
 aimed to the Arabic market

Beautiful ARTB label made for the Croatian market

Another beautiful ARTB label - the Ship's drawing is the same as
the above label made for the Chinese market 

A Packet label made for the Greek market

A Packet label made for the Swedish market

The Smokers by Adalbert Vojtech Scheinost 

Just 4 more beautiful Ships labels...

A ship, a train and an airplane.
It sounds like a beginning of a nice song

"I see a ship" said the captain
(this label is too beautiful for not being a Japanese one,
 so it's probably a Japanese for export to Indonesia)

Every ship has it's own sea

This is the close view of the Captain (2 labels above)

Do you remember the race between the monkey and the train?

Read more: The Race

So I got one of the lovely labels in it:

And now for something completely different (as said the Monty Python comedians) - One of my most loved label on earth: The race of the monkey and the Train

...and there are more versions out there of the same idea (not yet mine):

The Packet size of my Box label

A small monkey version

A West Side Story: The Monkey has missed the Train, so he jumped on the wild Pig, but he couldn't catch the train...

...So he took his Trumpet and trumpeted to the Train

he couldn't find it... 

...So he jumped on the Lion and nobody knows the end of the story...

 

(all labels are not mine...maybe some day...)

 



My new Leehing Catfish labels - A Dream come true

Today is a special day for me - I decided to come back and relive my blog after more than 2 month  of drought. At the beginning I was suffering from headaches, that finally left me after month and a half, and then I couldn't put my ass and start writing and uploading photos.
Since then, my collection has grown and developed. My friend Hilik has connected me to an English collector who sold me some nice Japanese labels. Among them you can find my favorites - a set of 7 beautiful Leehing & Co. Catfish Japanese labels, that for me is like a dream come true (and today I show it to the world, so this is also a reason that today is a special day).
This Japanese producer made a very unique and special labels that on all of them you can find a scary Catfish.
These 7 labels are not a full set (if it's can be called a set), as you can see in my previous post: http://arnon-reisman.blogspot.co.il/2012/06/unreachable-amazingly-beautiful-catfish.html

Enjoy it!

My First Leehing Catfish

And find the differences...

...and this is my second Leehing:

Watch these Trains labels - I love them!

The rare amazingly beautiful Catfish set of labels of Leehing & Co. Kobe, Japan

Some of the labels are from the collection of my friend Yecheal Biskovitz: http://yecheal.webs.com/
I wish they were mine.....

Got it!
