Which appears to be what the manufacturers want people to think.

When compared to the Dennis's hinges, yes. Besides, if they were the
exact same thing as the originals they'd have a green tint to them.
Dennis's are white. They only peeling Dennis's do is the paper from
the back of your stamp causing a mega thin at best, a hole at worst!

Not good news.

I think I'll see what's available in India when I go there next month.
If their motorbikes are anything to go by, I might get lucky.

Meanwhile, mounting my collection is on hold. I'm not happy.

Anyone remember if the old hinges had patent numbers on the packs? If
so the patents might reveal how to make decent hinges. I do remember
that the good Stanley Gibbons hinges had a spotty appearance.

I remember some 70's era hinges that came in a green envelope containing
1750 hinges.They performed very well, but I can't rememebr the brand
name.
