"In the 1950's ,technology improved and paper labels were allowed. The two most common types of labels seem to be: *Small oval or rectangular blue or black paper with white letters. * Two -color metallic, such as black or red with gold or silver lettering. The real sleepers are the post-WWII Made in Japan pieces because they are stil very affordable. but watch for quality items with no damage."
