[78-L] Brilliant..record label

[Glenn Longwell]

I'd be interested in the scans of both records.  The 5000 series had me thinking potentially Rex or Lyraphone derived - if they were US - but the matrix numbers don't match.  

So I did a google search on "Canadian Brunswick vertical" and found what we're looking for.

This is a Canadian Brunswick pressing.

No location at all, and quite different from the yellow and green sample Mal 
just sent me. Guess I'll have to get 'er scanned! Mine is gold with the word 
"Brilliant" in black letters in a straight line across the top, and a black 
area starting a half inch above the label with a straight top and an arc 
bottom, containing all the record info. Quite a bit of gold leaf on these 
labels. Matrix numbers 1944 (Glory/Flag) and 1945 (Star Spangled Banner).
