I have a sheet of 12 printed Gramophone Monarch / Concert labels (June 1909) from the Harrison + Hanover factory which were unused.

I could up-load them individually and they would look just like record labels, so to speak. There is though, of course, no record attached.

Is this of interest to this site or because there are no records attached to the labels it is 'out of scope', so to speak ?

I hope this makes sense and thank you as always.

Check if the records are already on 78Worlds and add your label images where it is appropriate. If you have labels for records that are not yet entered, you could make a new entry, but we would want to know what was on the other side, which side was the A-side, or if it was a single-sided record

Okay, thanks Juke Jules.

I will upload one in a few minutes then as a 'test' one.

I don't really know if they are single or double sided - so will up-load as a single side initially and wait for any appropriate moderator amendments etc.

The 'Dog and Gramophone' motif didn't come into use until 1909. It seems probable that all discs were single sided and not intended for Germany, as German issues of this period have the catalogue number printed twice (examples here and here).

I wonder what the spacing between labels would be (both in inches and mm), and what the width and height of the sheet would be. I know that '12 up' was the usual layout for 78 RPM label sheets in the U.S. for sure.
