I have seen a variety of Simpson brush labels. With the variety, there has been some semblance of guessing the production range. There is a sticker/decal/label that seems to be a little more difficult to guess when it was made. In the image below, there is a No. 4, and (2) Vintage Major travel brushes, marked with a No. 5.
The (2) Majors have different labels. The middle Major has a label/decal that matches the No. 4 on the left. These 3 might allow for identifying the label on the No. 4, which looks like a "Special".
Early Wee Scot
Pre-1941
Nimmer Mill Somerset
An Older Somerset
2006
2012
Modern Label
Most Recent Label
Are there guidelines for establishing an approximate date of manufacture based on the label? Any ideas about the No. 4 in the first image?
