various: various, 1970. Three Ring Binder. Good. We offer a large archive of fireworks labels dating to the 1970s, including 175+ labels collected from various manufacturers and countries, mostly India and China, but with a few from Japan and even America. The archive is contained in two binders labeled "FIREWORKS LABELS ALBUM NO. 3" (containing 82 labels mostly of Indian origin), and "FIREWORKS LABELS ALBUM NO 4." (99 labels, mostly of Chinese/Macau origin with a few from Japan and America). This archive was collected in the 1970s (presumably by someone in the fireworks business), and placed in old photograph albums with the "magnetic glue" format which has transferred to the backs of many of the labels. In some cases lines are visible on the front of the labels. We've left the labels in the albums as is, partly because there are some penciled notes on some pages indicating a date or (in album 4) "PGII CONV" presumably for the Pyrotechnics Guide annual conventions. They are easily removable, but… Read More

Santiago, Chile: Editorial Codelia - Publicaciones Cientificas, 1981. First Edition. Wraps. Near Fine. First Edition. 67, A1-A4 pages. Original printed white wrappers. Wraps. We offer the first issue of this Journal, which was published from Autumn 1981 (this issue) through the present, on a quarterly basis.

It is worthwhile bibliographically to note that in this first issue the terminologies are laid out for names, abbreviations, and guidelines for how to submit material. Perhaps most interesting for collectors is a note to authors that "Fifty reprints of each article are granted free of charge, and additional copies may be purchased". It also notes that original papers will be discarded after 2 months unless the publisher is requested to return the material.
