Help! it getting out of hand "Click" to Login or Register

My collection has grown tremendously this year. And I'm getting to the point where I need to tag things (I keep unscrewing the back too many times to find the one I'm looking for). So where does one get the nice little tags you put on the bows?

Hello Gary,
This is what I use. There is probably better and cheaper things out there but this works pretty good for me.

I use Office Depot Large Paper tags about 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" which leave plenty of space to record the data on one side and the service info on the other.

Thanks for all the inputs. I keep a nice Excel Spreatsheet and photos of all items. I was thinking of small string tags to put a reference number on. But I may reconsider and go for larger and more info. I'll check out Staples tomorrow.

Gary I am not sure if you have any discount or surplus stores where you are but we seem to have plenty here. I go there and anytime they have Items I can stock up on I do. I have many boxes of tags to mark my watches. The items on Ebay I switched to tiny stickers.

Gary, If you have any Antique Malls in your area they usually keep a good variety of string tags in all the different sizes.

Think what I need are some of the tiny tags for my working models and larger tags for my WIP (work in progress) items so I can list parts needed/ issues etc.

I live near Austin Texas in Bastrop...we are famous this year...the fires burned nearly 2000 of the 8000 homes in my town. It recovering nicely...great community.
