Thank you for identifying the typeface and the pressing plant!

Comment by W.B.lbl:

The presence of Metroblack No. 2 on {Images #590954 & 590955} would indicate an Allied pressing.

Clark pressings of Capitol product looked more like this example; their type fonts were identical to those of most if not all Decca pressings of this period. From what I could tell by scans, photos, etc., Clark had 16mm and 64mm pressing rings.

My copy (variant 2) has a 30mm or 1.18" interior pressing ring and a small "o" close to the label in the B side runout.

Since the 1st variant with the "Ƨ" is a Scranton pressing, I wonder if the small "o" and the pressing ring indicate a Clark Phonograph Record Company of Newark, NJ pressing. Apart from these two pressing plants, Capitol also contracted with Allied Record Manufacturing Co. of Los Angeles.
