124 Coats-of-Arms of the World Sticker Sheet (1975)

This item is a large, rectangular sheet featuring 124 individual peel-and-stick decals, each depicting the coat of arms or national emblem of a different country. The sheet is primarily white with a grid-like pattern delineating each individual coat of arms. The title '124 COATS-OF-ARMS' is prominently displayed in a red banner with yellow text at the top left corner, accompanied by smaller text 'OF THE WORLD' and a price point of '39' within a yellow circle. The individual coats of arms are rendered in a variety of vibrant colors, showcasing heraldic designs, flora, fauna, and national symbols. Some examples visible include the South Korean emblem (top left, third row down), the Polish eagle (middle, fifth row down), and the Swiss cross (bottom right, sixth row down). The overall condition appears good with some minor creasing or wear visible around the edges, consistent with its age and possible handling. There might be some subtle discoloration or yellowing of the paper due to age. A significant manufacturing detail visible at the very bottom right, cut off slightly by the image frame, includes the text 'SARU BUYUZ 1975', strongly suggesting a manufacturing date of 1975 and potentially the publisher or brand 'SARU BUYUZ'. The printing quality seems consistent with mass-produced paper goods from the mid-20th century. The item represents a collectible piece, likely intended for educational or hobbyist purposes, such as filling stamp albums or for general interest in vexillology and heraldry. The uniform size and presentation of each coat of arms suggest a systematic collection. The unique aspect is its completeness on a single sheet, dating back to 1975, making it a vintage item.
