Janet found a really nice 10 WE princess. It was filthy and the line cord was cut.

A few marks on the top of the face, otherwise solid and solid green with no fades

I always remove stickers BUT this is a NET Concession sticker.

Leave it, or remove it...Doug

Interesting find. I'd be tempted to keep the sticker and try to flatten the right corners. Different/unusual is often good.

How about a bottom photo?

Paul there is a bit missing on the top right and a bit sticking up.

Bottom pic added...Doug

Is the label paper or plastic. If it will come away in one piece I would remove it and put it on the bottom or rear, but once removed it will leave a rectangle of a lighter colour which will need attending to (Chemically Strip or Bleach). Maybe leave as is and let your buyer choose.

Thanks CJ. Still not sure if it will stay or if it will go.

I like the paper label, if the corner was perfect it would stay.

I am a big NET fan and have never seen one of these labels....Doug

I would remove it & maybe make a place to stick stickers you want to save, then maybe frame them for your phone room.

I always try to leave historically relevant stickers like that in place if they are not in too bad a condition.
If this were mine I'd thus leave it as is.

thanks folks, I appreciate your input...Doug
