I've seen quite a few of them, particularly on late 40s and 50s B&W sets. On (formerly my) RCA 9-PC-41 projection set, there was a whole cluster of tags. Interesting because of the set's history; belonging to the founder of what's now the Rite Aid Drug Stores. (Mr. & Mrs. H. Borun, Beverly Hills, CA). Some of those tags were from 1949, but none newer than 1951. I guess the Boruns got tired of getting it fixed. I also have a Kaye-Halbert 20" console with a CRT replacement warranty tag for singer Frankie Laine. Sadly, the TV was damaged in my house fire in '88, but I still have it in storage, tag & all. (The 9-PC-41 RCA projection set is alive & well with another collector).
