That’ll be hard to find. It’s from a very old catalog.

I was going to try and recreate the label if I could find a better copy of that logo. I talked to a friend who does graphic design and free hand sketches. He advised against it because if someone brought that to him to do as a commission it would probably cost $500. He said it looks like it was made using a Heidelberg Windmill press which he has two of .

Milton

nearly identical to the label on the primer tins


i believe this one is an original (a crop detail from a cased gun in a collection I photographed a couple years ago)

there were reproductions around, in cases made by Larry Schuknecht many years ago, I sold the cased gun I had with one in it, maybe someone has one they can make a clear copy for you
