Well....

I don't actually hope to collect data on everything, but I do collect data 
on anything I run across, and what people are kind enough to send to me. 
Just in case it is of interest to anyone, this is what I have collected on 
the 1940s New York Sterling label.  (Would be happy to add to it, not to 
mention the British and Canadian Sterling label.)
