Turkey Registered Mail Label - Old designed
This is the mint label I obtained from Turkey post office as a complement. The label is use in Ulus-Ankara post office for registration mailing. After many years in my album, it still preserve in good condition.
Mexico Express Label - Old designed
Believe this the express label used by Mexican Postal Service. This label I obtained from an old cover which I peel it off many years ago. This brown color label printed with Spanish text and an eagle symbol. The size is larger than the conventional airmail label.

Taiwan Airmail Labels - Old designed
Indonesia Airmail labels - Old designed
South Africa Airmail Labels - Old designed
These are few old designed South Africa airmail labels found in my old stamps album. Do a quick search on Google, surprisingly South Africa airmail labels are changing very often, there are many variances available. I couldn't recall when I obtained this label as I do not have a proper airmail labels catalog to describe the year in used.
A good advise is to keep the airmail label intact with the postcard or cover. The cancellation postmark will give you the year this label been used. If you collect mint labels from post office, do make sure you record the year. The above shown labels are printed in vertical strip format.
