Large label on back, which although the surface has scuffed off in many places, appears to be completely black with no printing. It is believed that some degredation process has occured to produce this appearance and the label was originally a gold on black advertising label. A small portion of border is still just visible.
Remnants of white label with possibly an "0" and a solid border on right hand end (ends damaged).
