Ye Popular (England) / c. 1921

Corporate background:

Label scan courtesy of UK music researcher and collector Bill Dean-Myatt, who notes that this label was issued by the Crystalate conglomerate.

It is obviously connected to the ‘Popular’ label (see versions a and b).

Design: A whimsical, pseudo-mediaeval offering, which descends to the absurd in using ‘Ye’ in the label name, typeset in a high Victorian font (the ‘U’ in ‘Popular’ appears to be reversed left to right).

The organic decoration at each side is more Art Nouveau, of a slightly later date than the lettering.

Note the nice illustration of a trumpet-blowing herald in the trade mark, behind the box containing the letters RSC (meaning unknown).

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

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