The original labels appeared on vastly smaller two ounce jars (arrow). Labels have been manipulated on a computer with Photoshop or other image-editting software and enlarged to fit the new bigger bottles. The new labels have retained their original contents size, 2oz and the original price, 1D (one penny). New labels are printed on a high quality ink jet printer which can be identified with a 10X loupe. The unprinted backs of the new labels fluoresce brightly under black light. Labels shown here are from Brown Bros. but other name could just as easily be copied.
