It's always fun to come across new roll labels, and the Spanish and
Latin-American markets seem to have hosted rather more smaller makers
than other European counties. Some were made locally, and others were
imported; I've seen entries in a museum catalogue which were clearly
SM rolls imported from Leipzig, and I have an Armonic roll that was
cut, poorly, on the paper that Hupfeld used.

The Spanish Sindicato de Rollas or Roll Union -- a description, surely,
not a name -- leader looks rather like the drawings used on l'EMP rolls
made in Paris.

To help identify rolls we need to see boxes, flanges, some perforated
paper and any labelling; sometimes the typeface of the stamps is more
distinctive than anything else!
