I notice that Wayne is using Dan as a reference too, very useful these stickered examples. That is why I try to carry a camera with me most of the time, I get some funny looks photographing labels, all part of the fun. :D

I have done that in the past, but often get a bit embarressed and chicken out. Sometimes people dont like it. I often use my camera on my phone, sadly the Apple Iphone camera's are really not very good considering how much the phone cost.
I shall have to brave up and start taking pics of glass and labels again

I always ask first, if people think you are a bit nerdy they often want you to get on with it and then leave them alone. ;D

oh yeah i do ask first, i find that the worst bit, even when i was taking pictures at the glass fair i felt really bad asking.
You get some really strange looks off people like your  :chky: (closest to nuts i could find)

I get strange looks just by browsing at fairs! lol

I haven't been able to find out who designed this one yet. :-(

Thanks John.  ;D

Michelle, I'll ask a couple of collectors over the weekend and see if they can shed any light on who designed it. ;-)
