<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 130387, member: 37"]I would re-adhere it. I don't think a glue stick is strong enough. I would use a basic wood glue. Use a thin layer so as not to get the label too sloppy. It may have been adhered with hide glue or similar originally but I don't think it matters all that much what you use to reattach it. Make sure the surface is clean and dry before attaching and place the label in the exact spot it was originally if you can tell where that is. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is just my opinion but others might think otherwise. I suppose that I might think otherwise if this were in a museum collection. I can't imagine where else it would matter all that much. If you are concerned about this, you could always place the label in a plastic sleeve and convey it to the new owner when sold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
