Greetings all, I'm working through a list of roll labels and have come
across some that are familiar, some not. But I'm curious as to who
actually manufactured the rolls. Many companies put out various labels,
often clones of their other offerings, sometimes completely different
tunes.
I have included some mysteries that I need help with. If you know
the manufacturer of the label, I'd appreciate the information. If you
want to forward it privately, delete ".geentroep" from my address.
List follows:
Ace
Collector's Classics
Little Gem
Marvel
Pola
Empire
Autokrat
Guarani
Rollos Nacionales
Sajewski
I currently have 675 labels identified. I'm sure there are more out there.
An excerpt from the spreadshhet is below.
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.
