[QUOTE="LeftonGuy, post: 379064, member: 149"]A comment about this collectorsweekly Lefton site. Mainly copied info from a book that is not correct in many aspects of what it says. Nobody cares, I know that, but I do want to set the record straight especially when I find incorrect info repeated as though it is a fact. The main thing I find objectionable is the dating of the red paper label to the OJ period. Lefton used NO red paper labels during the OJ period and certainly not one that says Lefton's Exclusives Japan (since paper labels as marks on ceramics as the only country of origin mark were not allowed in the US until after the OJ period). Many of the paper label and mark dates given in DeLozier's Lefton collector books are provably wrong. Karen Barton's dates in her Lefton collector books were much more carefully researched (I know because I and Karen did the research) and were based on marks and labels found on over 5,000 Lefton items and thus are much more accurate.
