Time has faded many of these overprints, and he doesn't note a change of ink to a more silver colour. The new comments on Bamboo's labels have moved on to the copyright stamp cost. This was either 2½ or 5 percent of the record's sale price, and didn't change until November 1928, which is outside the period of these label styles. Frank gives the sale price of 10" Twins/Zono-Twins as follows: 1908 - Aug 1915: 2/6d (30d) Sep 1915 - Aug 1917: 1/6d (18d) Sep 1917 - Aug 1918: 2/0d (24d) Sep 1918 - Aug 1919: 2/6d (30d) Sep 1919 - Jan 1920: 3/0d (36d) Feb 1920 - Aug 1921: 4/0d (48d) So it looks like the ½d stamp probably belongs to the Sep 1915-Aug 1917 period when the record was first issued in Sep 1916. Whew!! . Its probably worthwhile to add the later label style periods while I have the book in front of me: 'HMV Dog': June 1920 - June 1924 Z-R filigree quandrants: July 1924 - Nov 1926 'Zonophone' only without Record: Dec 1926 to end of label (Dec 1932) Bright green label:Oct 1931 to end of label.
