a small point, but is not the correct date 02/07/1889, and not 11/02/1889 as printed in the extract, which would be XI on Linton's label? Am I labouring under a misapprehension here?!

[Chris Liffen]

fwiw I would have gone with the 2nd July.

I've found that they seem to use arabic numbers for the days and roman numerals for the months so i would assume that the 11th July as reocrded on the typed label was correct.
