I guess if you wanted to make 70's Gibson copies this could be for you

Copies of a 70's F5? In this economy? You got to be kidding. Let's bring back the Edsel while we are at it.
These would make nice case stickers! And think of what those counterfiters that import the $50 asian mandolins and sell them for Gibsons at the pawn shops. That would really fake them off to have a real Gibson label in there and fake signatures and dates too!

Got to be legit - the seller is in Kalamazoo!

[Bill Halsey]

Oh, yeah -- that's the real item. Everyone around here has a drawer full of 'em. The new rolls were a lot larger than that, and the stickum hardly works anymore.
Well, I suppose someday they'll be old, too.

Those lables are exactly like the ones in a 1972 Gibson F-12 that I had years ago. I've got a picture I think somewhere on the hard drive....

f5loar, of course I was kidding! Tho 70's were bad times for alot of companies. I also share youre concern with these going to Pac Rim huckster's

[carleshicks]

I can't believe someone paid $127 for them.

[Dobe]

It was one of the Pac Rim Hucksters !

Add a $1 sticker to a $50 mandolin plus a $1 decal on the head and you got an instant $200 from any pawn shop in the country. Not a bad return on the investment in those stickers.
