I really like the early labels on 78's . they were works of art in the early days (After the pressed berliners) most those from the 20's and 30's from the major companies were so bland.

This is my favorite label a Parlophon & it's from around 1910. This Harmograph label isn't rare but it's considered unusual, & as Moo said not as decorative as the earlier labels. This dealer label is on the back of a Victor Monarch Record #1168 "The Warblers" by Sousa's Band Like banjo music? How about a little Van Eps on the Lyric label? And last but not least, it's true the Victor batwing label is kind of plain, but the tiny photographs on this batwing dress it up.

I've never seen a dealer label on the back of a one sided record. I like how old it looks.

I wish I had wallpaper with all these on it! That would be a cool phonograph room!

Those are all interesting labels. I have only seen Black Swan in the wild. Like getting two Indian Head Pennies in your change on the same day. I've always liked Emerson's Statue of Liberty label and the orange Silvertone with Pan. This one is from 1928-30 by a notable New Zealander on Australian Parlophone. While the aboriginal man pictured may have never received any royalty for the use of his image, the singer actually performed for Royalty in 1927. James

Here's a two-tone variation of the Maori label, recorded during the 1927 royal visit.

That Polydor is the bomb! I like the influience of the islands in the design. Looks like a nightclub from and old Tarzan movie.

Those are some graphics. I've never seen any of those. I agree Polydor is an eye catcher. That would make a great avatar too.

Actually I really like the British Clarion label. That's a beauty!
