Hello friends,
I've read here, long ago about a brand of hinges that could be very

It seems it is somewhat difficult to find good ones nowadays. I'll
try the brands you've mentioned on ebay

I find Prinz hinges reasonable, but few peel easily nowadays.

SG Hinges were awful!

In what way? They peeled cleanly and didn't fall off much when you
didn't want them to.

In my experience they did not peel cleanly.


I investigated this a few years ago, and couldn't find any modern
hinges that would peel as well as my SG and 'colector-hinges' (sic).
Luckily, I then found about half a packet of the 'colector', which
should see me through, now that I mainly collect mint, so don't use
hinges much.

I cannot see the logic in either using hinges that then have to be
soaked off when I want to move stamps round, or putting cheap used
stamps in plastic mounts that are worth considerably more than the
stamps.
