OK, Here are the six label types that I have, or have been sent to me. There are probably some additional varieties I am unaware of. Please send them to me, or describe them. Your help is most appreciated.


LABEL 1



Collection of Jerry Blais

Identifying features: Outside ring is blue, while the inside ring is red. There is no background color, except directly behind the phonograph. Location listed as "Springfield. Mass., U.S.A." I believe this to be the most common label type. I have this label in both 10" and 10.75", but all are single sided.



LABEL 2



Collection of Jerry Blais

Identifying features: Identical to label 1 except the background is now colored. I only have this in 10.75" and single sided.



LABEL 3

LABEL 4



Collection of James Eddy

Indentifying features: No outside rings. Backgroud is colored. Location listed as Springfield, Mass. This is know to exist in 7".



LABEL 5



Collection of Jerry Blais

Identifying features: No outside rings. Background is colored. Location listed as "New York City, U.S.A." I only have this in 10.75" and single sided.



LABEL 6



Identifying features: Identical to Label 5, except the words "Sold Under Restrictions" appears in small print on the left hand side. The words "Patented Jan. 5, 1904" appear in small print on the right hand side. I only have this in 10.75" and double sided.



I think these labels are in date sequence. I could easily be wrong, and would appreciate information
