The most expensive value in this collection is on the black and yellow star design, which reads 12’11, making the product it would have been stuck on worth £42.57 today. The largest label reads 1’- and the surface was made from pure gold foil. This was likely to make the product look more luxurious than it actually was and is 64mm (2.5″) in diameter.
Despite being functional, throw away items, I think these old labels are so beautiful and exquisitely designed. They all have a magnificent quality about them and every single one is embossed, with bold, striking text. I love the range of colours used for the designs, from the elegant reds to the deep blues and bright, foiled golds. I also like the vague statement of “Guaranteed Pure” which was undoubtedly used on many products, few of which I fear were actually “Pure”.
