Post by: yesvil on February 09, 2011, 04:52:12 PM: Is this made by Vasart? I have seen a similar label shape for them.

Do you know if Pirelli used this label up to their demise? which I believe was much later then Vasart.

Thanks - So my weight should be pre 1964 I presume.

The "shaped" Vasart label (same shape as for the Pirelli label) is not known to have been used before 1956.

That's very helpful - Thank you!
