Design: A plain, unadorned label that prominently (perhaps foolhardily, when Hitler's Nazi party was just coming into power, and making no secret of their hatred for Jews) features the Star of David. Above the spindle hole, the fonts used are a clean sans serif, which became widely used during the 1920s, while the imprinting (in Roman letters) is done in a 'Jugenstil' font (Korinna) that dates from the early years of the 20th century.
History: Unknown (have info? Please send to info.re.78s@shaw.ca). Label scan courtesy of UK music researcher and collector Bill Dean-Myatt. There is little doubt that this label would not long survive in Germany at this time period, when Jewish business owners were being vilified and persecuted.
