Purchased an old collection and noticed these hinges.

I hadn't seen them before.

Anyone run into these before?

    No...But as far as hinges go they seem wider and are kind of cool. That was back when young eyes could print that small. Take care...

    I did a google search and The New England Stamp Company was founded in 1893. Not too much information but kind of interesting. Take care...

    This is the first time I've seen anything printed on stamp hinges.

    I agree, that is a nice hinge. Also, about young eyes :).
