: Anybody have any suggestions? I am looking for something as good as the old Dennison hinges. Thanks, Roy I've had fairly good luck with two, but my supply is very old - I've not worked on stamps for many many years until recently. A blue not very strong hinge made by Western Stamp and Coil Supply Company. I don't remember where I got these. Another called Dennis's (not Dennison!) hinges. The package says G&K Hobby Supplies 2121 Beale Ave. Altoona PA 16601. I think I _may_ have bought these at Subway Stamps. -- "When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil." - Max Lerner |

The reason is related to this: They're NOT the same! A company [subway stamps] bought the machine and name and began to *manufacture. Not sure if the latter batches were as good, many comments said they were not. When G&K bought the machine, they dreamed of remaking the old Dennison's hinge that we all loved. They finally got the formula on the gum, and: it's a horse product. Surprise! If I recall correctly, it was the US Food and Drug Administration that banned the adhesive, because it would likely be coming in contact with the human tongue, and wasn't considered safe enough by government standards. If you have some spare horses, maybe you could make your own? ;-) You can still find Dennison hinges on ebay. They sell for 10-15 dollars per package of 1000. That's correct. For historical perspectives, they tripled in price between the early '70s and late '80s, and now the price is around 40 TIMES the 1970s price. -- Joshua H.

Old Dennisons (with an "o") are the real deal and sell for a bundle. Subway's Denissen hinges (with an "e" are less wonderful (he said politely).
There are also old Universal hinges that I rate as good as Dennisons and which typically sell for about half the price. As far as I can figure, no hinge made since about 1980 is worth having. It is a filthy commie plot on the part of Showgard etc to make us use their mounts - excuse me - the nurse wants to give me my injection now.

Do collectors in Europe, China, Russia et. al. also have problems obtaining decent hinges? I'd be willing to help boost the global economy to obtain some actually peelable hinges of new manufacture.
