An Edison Bell label, dating from WWI, or just before, though no examples have been seen by me.
There is a theory they were made for export to the USA, which is born out by the fact thaqt the few examples known have turned up there.

Any further examples, or information would be vey useful.

 

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 who have provide more details: Tyler Baldwin, Mike Comber
