"B.G." for newspaper
As said in the introduction two printing runs were made: the first one (Fig. 1) is quite rare when used and absolutely very rare when new; the second one (Fig. 2), more common, presents the lower label of reduced dimensions to overcome the problems of the plug insertion. In fact we can notice that in the sample with large letters the lower typographic line is not even visible because the letters, so big, were keeping it far away.
