63L Harrison radiator foil label

[Gerald L.]

Did originals have a shiny metallic background like the current repos? My decades old Dewitt label is definitely not shiny. I have no memory of what it was like when first installed.

Gerald;
Below are a pictures of both an original and the Dewitt labels side by side. The reproduction is so glossy acquiring the picture was a pain.
Although the original is very old I don't see it as ever being that shinny. Font and background colors are also different.
Notice how the last line has a different word count.
My thought was the label was closer for later years? Possibly one reason it didn't match the 1963 label?
