Sticker Day is a day to celebrate all things stickers, from the custom made to the everyday label. Every sticker has a story. They can be used for decoration or information depending on the situation. They can come in many different shapes, sizes and colours and can be used on a variety of things for example lunch boxes, in paper planners, lockers or notebooks. European merchants in the 1880’s were some of the first to stick labels to their products, in an effort to promote their goods and wares to passers by. Using gum paste to get the labels to adhere and stick: hence “stickers.” By the 1900’s a sticker-specific paste had been developed and was widely used, most notably on stamps, which dried and then would re-apply when moistened. Popular in the VW world. Has anybody on here got a stickerless van?
All the USA manufacturers of model kits called them "decals" - we call them "transfers". A few stickers on my bus too - one or two that the PO had put on and a few that I have put on - mainly from Tatton Park.
I've got the same, and I've got a Milligan and Nesbit live at the Barnsley civic hall sticker on my fridge
