Rip the sticker off (carefully!!). It has no value whatsoever, other than to
say in effect that the JCII agrees that the piece of equipment wearing the
sticker is indeed a camera item of some sort, and therefore is OK for export as
such.
Furthermore, the glue on the back of the sticker is particularly tenacious, and
apparently changes over a period of time to something that attacks the finish.
I use careful application of "Goo Gone" to get 'em off, and it still takes a bit
of elbow grease and time.

Subject: [OM] Little Gold Labels
Something must be wrong with me......I apparently am missing something here.
i see so many cameras for sale, many of them 20 years old or more, on which
the owner has left the ugly gold inspection sticker ! For some reason it
would never have occurred to me that that label was a thing of beauty and
should be left on! Do they think it makes the camera look "younger"?? Is this
a desirable aspect when you look to buy a camera? My brother loves them and
won't take them off his cameras, so maybe it's a "guy thing"???
Share with me whether i should leave this on a newly acquired 4T..personally
i think it mars the beauty of the camera, but if it will keep the resale
value higher I'll bite my tongue....maybe....
Susan
how about if i save it on the plastic baggie the manuals came in?? :=)
