There used to be 3 different posting of old product lables.  I'll be damned if I can find them.

Books, mi amigo, after they had been posted for over a year and the hit counts had long since dwindled off, I figured they had run their course. I announced my intention to delete them with enough advance notice for latecomers to make use of them (virtually no increase in # of hits) and then deleted them.

I am still collecting images when I can, and will likely post again in the future.

By the by, I will have a nice collection of 20 cigar labels for you at the NCOWS Convention, none previously posted. Unfortunately the majority date from the turn of the 20th century to 1915, but still spectacular.
And I will be bringing a selection of bottles, containers, etc. with labels to the NCOWS Convention. Some a bit tongue-in-cheek, I'm afraid, but still fun none the less.

Thanks John.  I got your PM.

I found a really neat Gin bottle and I was looking for an appropriate 19th century lable.  I thought that there was one in your compliation.

Steel Horse,
I've had to stop taking the Piso Cure, so no more empties I'm afraid.
I suffered missing gaps of time meanwhile someone was taking advantage of that to sneak in and eat up everything in the pantry.

I have down-loaded one of their posters (the boys by the fence and tree) but I'd actually like to have a bottle with a label.  I'd love a re-print - which isn't a chore, but finding a bottle - embossed - is a bit more difficult.

I gave up the cure years ago myself.

::) :o ;) ;D
