There was lots of commerce between Germany and England, the US, etc until the outbreak of WW1, so the label most likely dates from around 1910.  (in reply to ronc) Post #: 2

I think it's a great little bit of history, especially tucked away in that diary with the note on the back! (in reply to cyberdigger) Post #: 4
