This is a followup to Chris's comment.
The photo on the left is an original Sparton tag and on the right is a repro. It would appear that originally the name Sparton was printed in bright red letters on original tags, but the years have erased them, leaving the small print which is more durable. I'm only assuming this, because I have never done a close comparison of repro vs. original horn tags. Does anyone else out there have an original Sparton tag with the red Sparton graphics still intact? That would clear up this mystery. Thanks.
