[78-L] Late Date Batwing RCA VICTOR Label??

[Han Enderman]

I found a few label pictures with this 50s batwing label.
For ex., a Marvin Kirkland issue with the same logo/texts (Start outside etc.) and stating
"Pressed by RCA ... FOR COUNTRY", mx on label E3KB-0600.
Another one is a white label issue for Kraft Foods Co with E0 matrix, issued December 1950.
These issues do not have a release number, as have the Aladdin SS pressings 
(with the A/B-sides shown as prefixes).

>>> I have a couple of 16-inch transcriptions from the early to mid 50s that use a 
giant economy size version of that design.

Are there RCA format matrix numbers in the vinyl?  I'm surprised they 
aren't on the label unless all that is there are the A-900 numbers.  An 
RCA format matrix number prefix would pin down the year.  As for the 
label, this is a variation of a label RCA called Record Label Circle 66 
which they used starting in 1934 for custom pressings.  I've seen some 
others from the late 40s and early 50s.  For example, it is used on the 
custom pressing of Caruso's Coat Song, although some might think it was 
only because the original had been acoustical.  Obviously they used this 
label on new items also.  In fact, it is a record with a similar label 
that is held by Marilyn Monroe in the still from Niagara that was linked 
a few days ago in that famous thread.
