Ultra neat. Not often we see a logo from that orientation (upside down or right side up?).
Yes! I changed the inside photo to show the size tag better.Swell Skimmer, Ale. Your size?
Nice find at a nice price!
Stiffened with gelatine, actually, as it doesn't color the straw like shellac. But, it's also more susceptible to moisture, water, humidity, etc. Makes it sticky.

Any help with dating would be greatly appreciated!
