In fact, (IMO) ANY dealer info is interesting! I've seen "stickers" on
records...white ink/paint imprints in run-outs (Brunswick, c.1921-23)...
sleeves, even for used records (one Milwaukee dealer in particular..!)...
"carry bags" (which seem to have been provided by labels, and often
overprinted by record stores)...! It's sometimes interesting to see
how far records have travelled over ensuing decades...!
