Family and Friends
Czeslaw Slania has made a number of non-postal labels (in perforated stamp format). Many of these labels - Slania himself prefers to call them "posters" - were produced as personal favours by Slania for the honoured individuals, and given to them for their private use or distribution to their friends. Therefore, in some cases there is no supply of them available to collectors. They are printed in various colours for any one image, so it is impossible to make a complete listing of these labels.
