Blue Amberol 5000 Series Lid Labels

Post by Shawn »

Folks,

For about 30 years I have been collecting images of original 5000 series Blue Amberol lid labels to capture their information and complete a set of reproduction labels. I am less than 100 lid images shy of completing this task.

I wanted to make available to the collecting community what I have accomplished so far in the attached PDF. It is complete with all 700 plus lid labels. However, if a label has a red or blue square above it, it was created from an original lid image. If it has clear squares above it, it was created from source material and possibly a DD label of the same issue. Feel free to download this document and use it on your 5000 series Blue Amberols.

I also have an ask, I've included the 5000 Series lid numbers that I am missing below. If you have an image of one or more of these lids, I would greatly appreciate it. I will make available an updated listing to anyone who provides me with additional lid(s) images.

I hope you find this beneficial, and appreciate this communities support and help.

Great work! Thanks for posting, it will be very useful, as most of these cylinders come without lid or with the wrong one.
