[QUOTE="laurencedyer, post: 488459, member: 5990"] [color=#FF0000][u][b]Observation 2.[/b][/u] Price Sticker Size & Durability Comparison.[/color] The next observations to compare are that of the Special Price sticker itself. [color=#FF4000]This Image is of the Suspect label laid on top of the Palitoy label. As you will see they are not the same size.[/color] [ATTACH type="full" alt="35403841_1964788463811686_5235771584311984128_n.jpg"]45800._xfImport[/ATTACH] [color=#FF4000]The width of the Palitoy label has been measured on 5 different examples. The sample size of the Palitoy examples used for this comparison is 3 x Inline labels & 2 x Offset labels.[/color] [color=#FF40FF]For clarity, the sample size of 2 Offset labels in lieu of 3 as the other two variations was due to access.[/color] The 5 labels all measured the same width. [color=#FF40FF]This measurement recorded is 76mm. [/color]The first example was measured by myself with four independent measurements and images to confirm the measurements provided by independent collectors. [color=#FF4000]Palitoy label width.[/color] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20180529_191617.jpg"]45801._xfImport[/ATTACH] [color=#FF4000]Magnified start of measurement[/color] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20180529_191621.jpg"]45802._xfImport[/ATTACH] [color=#FF4000]Magnified end of measurement[/color] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20180529_191624.jpg"]45803._xfImport[/ATTACH] [color=#FF4000]The width of the Suspect label has been measured on 3 different examples. [/color] The 3 labels measured the same width. [color=#FF40FF]This measurement recorded is 74mm.[/color] The first example was measured by myself with two independent measurements taken and confirmed.

In the AM collecting community reproduced items are accepted. He offered me an example regarding an item. The item was an eye glass. The eye glass had several attempts by different collectors to be reproduce and each attempt was incorrect. The unsuccessful attempts had used 12 mm and 13 mm as the measurements for the reproduction. He made several attempts from 12.1 mm to 12.7 mm until he managed to succeed. For your reference the conversion from inches to millimetres is often accepted as 25 mm. The actual conversion is 1 inch equates to 25.4 mm. The eye glass had been created at a size of half an inch hence the inability to duplicate this item correctly using the metric measurements. The relevance of this information is to offer for your consideration that imperial measurements had been used by Palitoy at this time. The Palitoy sticker measurements recorded and offered have been documented at 76 mm. Although all of the research and measurements recorded during the research have been undertaken in metric measurements it is now believed that the labels were created at a size of 3 inches. [color=#FF00FF]3 inches converts to 76.2 mm. [/color] [color=#FF4000]Greater magnification of the end photo of a Palitoy label demonstrating that the width is marginally wider than the 76mm previously recorded.[/color] [ATTACH type="full" alt="38005564_2006618109628721_3711197840798646272_n.jpg"]45807._xfImport[/ATTACH] [color=#FF0000] A further comparison to the labels has been observed which is that of the colour to the reverse of the labels. The Palitoy label has a yellow colour to the rear. The Suspect label has a white colour to the rear. [/color] [color=#FF4000]The Palitoy label is the one to the left of the image (identified by the 'P') which has had the Suspect label (identified by the S) placed on top for the comparison.
