I think they were originally "gummed" (like the old lick-em stamps), 
in which case it was probably fish glue (isinglass) or possibly 
vegetable gum.  Any of the common contact cements (Pliobond, etc.) 
should work.

For an out-of-the-box solution, consider using a piece of clear 
heatshrink tubing a bit larger than the filter.  Hold the label in 
place with a tiny dot of cement, or just lick it and place it in 
position.  Slip the heatshrink tubing over it, then shrink.  This 
makes a very secure and protective lamination.

This is also a good (but somewhat tedious) way to mark cables, using 
labels you print with your computer and cut to size.

Best regards,
