 Thanks again, scrough, for taking on this editing job! I've reordered the labels chronologically. I don't know if the A and B sides always belong together, of course. The labels were certainly not uploaded in this order.

The older label design of the two is the one with the single line of patent text at the bottom (sub-variety ii). It was replaced by the design with two lines of unequal length (the lower one longer) (sub-variety iii) as early as January 1919 (AX).

That said, we can see here that older label designs were sometimes used up for months. Thus, the two images {3553116} and {3553113} with the earliest date codes (BX = Febr. 1919) are, in fact, on the newer label design (sub-variety iii, which, as I said, was introduced as early as Jan. 1919).

Images {3553109} and {3553117}, _if_ they are from the same record (but the different lighting speaks against it), would show a transitional phase: both have the two rows of patent text, but one was printed in February 1919 (BX), the back side (DX) in April 1919.

Images {3553106} and {3553108} are late uses of label sub-variety ii with the single line of patent text, both with DX (April 1919) date code. This design was introduced in June 1918 (FY). The latest use I have seen has an EX date code (= May 1919), see Columbia E4236 on Discogs.

The lower quality images that I have now hidden, {1034013} and {1034012}, both have the more recent label variant (subvariety iii) with DX date code (April 1919).

It's fascinating to me that there is not a single actual repress among these 8 pictures, despite their variety of date codes and designs. All were printed before the record's official release in May 1919.

Source, as always, M. Sherman & K. Nauck, "Note the Notes," page 28 (they date the subvariety ii to "ca. 1918)."

 Xiph: Another label ordering please? All images now edited. I thnk I understand the printing codes, but here the older label designs have later dates than the newer.

 Co A-2707 - images added of 3 label variants with BX and DX codes. The earlier label type has a single line patent legend, but with DX code.
