Maybe Bimini?

 :) Looks like a generic "Foreign" label.
Which helps greatly to date it,  ;D and the style looks absolutely spot on for either Bimini or Komarof.

Hi Sue,
It didn’t matter how long I looked at it I still couldn’t see that 😂
What age would it be , 50’s / 60’s ? Being a paper label

I'm no good at dates.  :-[
But there was a law stating that things had to be marked "foreign" which applied for a while after WWII ended.
So I'm pretty sure it's pre '60s. ;D

I just did a search - stags like yours do come up under Bimini - and the other maker is Istvan Komaromy. I got the name wrong.

Looking at the FOREIGN paper label I'd not rule out Lauscha - it's 'very GDR' (German Democratic Republic) 1950/60s

There's a short article here from Wayne's website, which includes links at the bottom to Angela Bowey's books on this matter.
Wayne is a very helpful member here, and Angela - well, the lovely Angela owns this forum. ;D
We wouldn't exist without her. 8)
