Re: Reproduction Cylinder boxes
Burdette's been doing these for a long time and I have appreciated his service a lot. I did the Lakeside and Lambert Ebony labels several years ago.
The Lakeside source box was sacrificed for the scan to be used a template. For a proper quality, I practically had to redraw everything, which meant 8-12 hours of labor for just one label.
But I am proud to say, that the Lambert Ebony box was not sacrificed to accomplish the new one.
I also tried to get German Lambert label but my source then was not the best quality. I'll have to try that again with a better one I now have, when time allows it.

Re: Reproduction Cylinder boxes
I've bought these through two of the vendors out there who carry them and I can attest that they ARE excellent quality and wel worth it. I will get them directly through Burdette now which will be slightly cheaper.
