[78-L] Bluebird labels

[Han Enderman]

Of these earliest BBs I'm finding ca. 1 image a year.
1826 was sold on ebay in 2009 for $500.
Oddly I have images only in the 1820-1829 range. 

There's interesting info in Sutton-Nauck, ARLC.
First 10 issues were 8", released Aug 32.
>From 1811 on 10", rel. March 33. Discontinued May 33.

I see some issues in VMB; does it mention 1853 somewhere?

>>> There's one that precedes the buff label as well. 
It has an almost unreadable black print on blue background and was only good for a handful of issues. 
I own one of these, but they are rare, rare, rare! 
I believe the numbers go from 1820 to 1853 (if I understand the Victor Master Book correctly). 
They were issued in 1933. 
This is the one issue that I have.

1826  Dwight Butcher (aka "Hank Hall") Frivolous Frisco Fan
        Bob Miller (aka "Slick Palmer") Good Old Beer

> No, the buff BB label (yellow/blue) precedes the blue staff label.
> An even earlier version of the buff label has a different manufacturer's name along
> the lower rim (RCA Victor Company).
> The issue pictured (B-6450 Double Check Stomp) also exists on an even later blue label,
> without staff and with double rings (and still mentioning RCA Manufacturing Co.).
