The below was found at an estate sale 8 years ago with some other literature, including owners manual, accessories catalog, and Small World magazines. It is approx 5.75" wide and the left side appears to be torn (like torn out of something).
Does anyone have any ideas where this may have come from?

Yes, I've seen those. They actually look exactly like an item created by a fellow on The Samba a number of years ago. They are not quite right (seeing these originals).
The Sama fellow created them based on a partial sticker on several glove boxes. It's pretty good - and it's how I know (or believe) these are 5.75" wide. |

I know we talked about this a bit but I just did some more searching and found this post:

A self-adhesive tire pressure sticker was an insert to the "introductory" issue of Small World magazine, mailed by VoA to all new VW owners shortly after purchase. The new owner was instructed to attach it to the inside of the glove compartment door.
As posted previously, factory-installed tire pressure stickers didn't start appearing until around 1966. |
So it may be in some of the Introductory Issues.
I have a lot of these issues and will check them later tonight.

Interesting, no mention of adding 2-3 psi for radial tires like on lat models.
When was that sticker made? 1961 at least! Probably '65 or later? |

As a note, from Everett, from left side black line to right side black line is 137mm. That will allow for accurate printing on sticker paper, if needed.
