Voice-O-Graph Labelography (Part 3)

This is my third update to my Voice-O-Graph Labelography project. This time I have added a very late era label at the bottom. It spins at 78 or 45 rpm, and has a paper base.comically it still says patent pending around the label. What they're patenting after 25 years I cant venture a guess. Thankfully this rare disc is dated and labeled.I think this is the last label made by the Mutoscope corporation.

There are at least two more types which I am still documenting including one that probably date to the 50s. This list is not complete, and continues to grow. Hopefully this can serve as a bit of a labelography for future use. Below I describe, label, and date each type of Mutoscope made disc as fully as possible with all dates I've encountered. I will continue to update this post so it may be used for reference.
