So one way to date them is to look at the latest release they mention and to assume that the sleeve must have been issued around the same time that release was issued. If the sleeve is an American sleeve and sports the logo of the National Recovery Administration (NRA - We do our part), it's from ca. 1934. In some cases, other websites have been helpful, such as Frank Meagre's label sites, e.g., http://www.friktech.com/btls/capitol/capitollabels.pdf. If you scroll down on his homepage, you find a long listing of "Record Company Labelographies": http://www.friktech.com/btls/btls2.htm Some of them include a discussion of sleeves, or it may be possible to draw an inference from the date of a certain label design to the date of a sleeve that copies that new label design. In again other cases, I've been able to draw inferences from the 45 rpm sleeve database at http://www.bigboppa.co.uk/45-sleeves/ . I would be careful with that site, though. The dates given don't always work for 78s. Edited by xiphophilos on 18th Sep 2017, 10:43 PM
