Description: 22 PIECE ANTIQUE FIRECRACKER LABELSHere’s a group of twenty-two very collectible firecracker pack labels of which many are not easy to find! Several different China/Macau firecracker manufacturers are represented here - but all have sadly disappeared due to the mainland China factories taking-over the business from the early 1970’s onward.Labels include: Alligator Brand 1-11/16”x16’s (1950-1954 with small bald spot behind gator’s head), Big Bang King Size 1-11/16”x20’s (1960’s), an early Black Cat 1-1/2”x20’s (1950-1954), Bobco Bill’s Cowboy 1”x5’s penny-pack label (1940’s), Captain Kidd 16’s (1940’s - Imported by National Fireworks), Cock Brand 1-11/16”x16’s (1960’s), Elephant Brand (1930’s-1940’s measures 3-3/4”x4-7/16” with gorgeous colorful artwork - near mint), Geo’gia Cracker 16’s (1950-1954 with great hillbilly artwork), a scarcer/early version of Giant Panda Brand 16’s (United Commercial Company of Portland, Oregon - Mfgd.

Note that the following labels were never affixed to packs - but are rather old stock that was collected by Dennis Manochio, Sr. during one of this trips to Asia: Bobco Bill’s Cowboy (does have a light fold), Captain Kidd, Elephant, Geo’gia Cracker (upper-left corner tip off), Kangaroo (Dead-Mint example), Lion Globe, Peacock and Peony. All other labels came off old packs and may exhibit ripples, bends/folds, etc.! I have supplied scanned photos that will allow you close examination - so take the time to carefully view each label. What you see is what you get.I intended for these labels to remain in my personal collection and I cannot assemble another such set since fourteen are one-of-a-kind to me. However, it’s time to find them a new home since they hold no interest to my younger brother! Just imagine the value IF these were all intact packs!!!
