Deans lables and swing tickets from 1912 onward

[elize]

In 1991 limited editions were introduced with a non-fray label which could be stamped with a frank which would enumerate. This system was used until 1999. The pitfall was that the details of the bear were printed on the certificate and only the number was on the bear. (Picture 21)

However, the heat transfer machine changed all this (1999) and now all bears have a sew-in label which give full particulars. (Picture 22)
