One of the many pre-WWI labels pressed in Germany for the British market using masters from J. Blum & Co and possibly Polyphon. This one is particularly rare and I have never even seen an example. The scans have been harvested from the internet some years ago.

There are two series, possibly using two difference sources for masters

 


This is a first attempt at a listing. Please e-mail me if you can help me fill in the gaps in any of these series.

My thanks to Frank Andrews in providing most of the information for this page.
Thanks also to the following for their help: Mike Atkin, Mike Comber, Graham Farnell, Norman Field, Robert Girling
