This fellow has very nice leather reproduction labels. He says he has others not listed. If you don't find an original one, he may be able to help.

You might try Larry and Gary Davidson. A couple of nice guys who had an engraver make a stamp in order to copy the leather Henry case labels. I had one at one point......no telling where it is now. At least one of them, if not both, are board members.

CJ, I copied and pasted the address I listed above. It worked to find the fellow's offerings on ebay. If you contact him, possibly he can help. He seems to have very nice products.

click on one of his labels, or the item no. KyJon lists, then scroll to the bottom to the "ask seller a question" .

Thanks SKB for your kind words. I have a friend who has made some Alex Henry labels. The quality of them is BETTER than the original, he has even gone so far as to use the same kind and thickness of leather! He has also worked on a Holland label. You would not believe the quality of these labels! The labels I saw were of the older type you see in the 1870-80 cased sets. I will contact him and see what he has and report back. I don't want to give his info out without his permission. His work is beyond belief, much much better than my brother and I tried.

I will second that , Gary.

Jim's labels are absolutely period correct, meticulously researched for accuracy, and only historically correct and first class materials are used in their construction. Truly Best Quality.

The only reproduction labels I would consider putting in a case.

Gary:

Would you mind asking your friend if he has a template for a maker S.A. Leonard? The rib indicates a presence in Birmingham and New York.

I've struck out with all of the usual sources.

Remington40X, Jim, as far as I know, only has done the Holland and Alex Henry labels. From what I remember, it is quit expensive to tool for a label so only higher volume would be worth it. Mike is right, the quality is perfection!
