I think that most people will agree that Dennison hinges are the best hinges that were ever manufactured. While I have been using mounts for the past few years, I was sorting through my old box of stamp supplies and I was surprised to see that I have 5 different styles of Dennison hinges packaging. I wonder how many different types of packaging Dennison used over the years so lets show the different packages of Dennison hinges our members have in their possession.

Mike

This is the package I used to hinge stamps in my collection back in 1961. On the back of the package it states: Dennison Manufacturing Co of Canada Ltd., Drummondville, Quebec. The hinges are still in great shape and aren't curled like the hinges I bought only 4 years ago.

I love those prices! I recently paid $11.00 U.S. for
some non-Dennison ones, that I haven`t needed to
start yet, because I still have a precious few
Dennison ones! I still have a jealously guarded
(empty) package with 29c on it. OK, it`s different
and I am going to try and mount a photo here. The
one on the left has no identifying manufacutring
location; the one on the right says they were made
probably in Drummondville, Que. (note French only
front) by Dennison Mfg. Co. of Canada - but it ALSO
says "Made in U.S.A., so go figure!

I`m trying to post a photo here, but, as I always do,
I`m having tons of trouble! I`m using Servimg.com.
Here goes another try. There were 2x http:// in the
URL, which JanetMc warned me about, so I removed
exactly one of them in the middle
of the file name, and I am still not getting an image.

I have long been quite passionate about Dennison hinges,
even to actively disparaging some called DennisEn,
which is a poor knockoff obviously intended to deceive!
I`d love to get some more DennisOn ones. I paid $7.00
for my last bag (which I think is the one shown on the
right, in spite of the fact that it says $1.15 on the price
sticker up top! There is a now dead string about
Dennison hinges with (I think) the whole story on
Stamp Boards, which I visit occasionally.

What I don`t understand is why Dennison isn`t still
making them, except of course that more people seem
to be using mounts, which I find very size finicky and
expensive!

Believe it or not in the late 20's - early '30's they came in rolls.

kannik apparently subay stamps owns the original machines and tried making them but apparently it was a change of an ingredient that was the demise.

In one of the things I read, I heard that they
couldn`t use the original (wonderful!) ingredients
now because of Environmental Protection Act
(U.S.) Sort of makes me wonder what on earth
I was licking all those years! Now I use one of
those sponges in a plastic container!.
