Guardsman Record (England) / 1914

Corporate background:

At first known as Invicta, the label name was changed to Guardsman in late 1914.

According to collector Bill Dean-Myatt, many early items appeared under both label names.

Design: An attractively laid out label, though the word 'Guardsman' is cramped in comparison to the wider letters of the word 'Record.'

The main lettering follows the pre-World War I tendency to follow an upper arc.

Curiously, the lines containing the label name extend beyond the Victorian-looking cusped bracketing dividing the upper and lower segments.

Rarity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Value: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
