Thanks, Leon
I said earlier that I was reserving comment until later - which I would like to do now. Even though I am not entirely sure when Coors' used this particular label, most of what I have seen claim it was used around 1919. I realize that hatchet feels the photo was taken around 1915 or 1916, but because that has not been confirmed with 100% certainty, I believe it allows some leeway that the photo was possibly taken later than 1915 or 1916. I also realize that the label in the photo appears to be diagonal, and that this particular Coors' label is rectangle, but it isn't so much the shape that attracts my interest about this Coors's label as it is the placement of the circle logo in relation to the words on either side of circle logo. The words I'm referring to are "Coors-Golden" - which I think MIGHT be on either side of the circle logo in the photo but are partially "washed out" I fully acknowledge that my observations are based entirely on guesswork - but it is the best I can come up with based on the currently available information. If I'm wrong, and I probably am, I will gladly stand corrected. I only have one rule when it comes to this sort of thing - which is "No hitting with sticks or other blunt objects"
