RIBBON COLLECTOR ISSUE 31 DECEMBER 2006

This will become my first Ribbon Collector, and I will start with the unknown I found in the stock of the RSS and which came to me unidentified. The dimension‘s are here shown 1:1

1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 Do you have the same ones in your collection? Where did your samples come from? Do you have unidentified ribbons with 2.1 2.2 2.3 aproximate source in your collection?

Internet and computer work isn‘t only a source for identifying, but it helps you to arrange your collection by making 2.4 2.5 best readable frames with a template (where to cut the slots later) and you are able to show your collection or unidentified spares to others without moving. 3.1 3.2 3.3 But you should be willing to learn again how all this works. Your grandchild‘s would be happy to help you.

3.4 3.5 The committee will inform you, that you should give information‘s BEFORE YOU MOVE or when you are expected to move, to your changed address, so that we can provide the usual service. All the New Ribbon Collectors mails will have now a return address.

Please support me with information‘s to the countries which takes greater parts of your collection. Are you able to name the qty of different ribbons and measures. I would like to show a collection of ribbons from IRELAND. I have about 47 different, but some are unidentified. Who can help? Please do not add this label on top, taking off threads will follow
