Today’s pair are the result of a speculative bid at a recent auction because there was no interest in the three labels offered. It even took a couple of days before I looked at the labels to find the larger example appeared to be different from the one already in the collection and not just the depth of colour. I do like it when this happens.

Hi All ,
Other than a size difference , could the solution be that one of the labels is from the Allsopp’s brewing and the other from the Romford brewery ??

Well as it has stayed rather quiet, perhaps it is time to put my comments forward. Firstly there is a definite difference in the number & position of the ‘notches’ on the scroll edges. Also I believe there are differences between the visible scroll ends, both top & bottom. So I conclude the labels are indeed different & both worthy of a place in Peter’s collection
