Single Golden Tench by John Cooper. Data from said case.

Data in gold leaf on the front of a bow fronted case. This is the first time we have encountered data placed on the front of a bird case similar to that presented for a fish. This case was undertaken by Williams of Dublin.

Data label from a case by Peter Spicer of a European Hobby.

Interesting insight into the data that goes into cases. This is from the case above.
