cameo.1

Cameo (U.S.A.) / c. 1958

Corporate background:

Launched in Philadelphia in 1956, and survived until 1967.

It had no connection with the earlier Cameo label, 1922-1930.

Design: The lettering used for the name on this understated label is of the Tuscan family, with the stems splitting into curlicued serifs.

The ornamentation is applied inside the bowls of the 'C' and 'O,' rather than on the main stroke.

The cameo is a delicate little silhouette.

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

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