Recently picked all 4 of these up to add to my Heidelberg collection (well over 150 variations now from 3 countries).
a. Didn't have a "super size" version of this European label. I think it is kind of interesting how the font for the word "Heidelberg' is the same as its American counterparts.
b. I had been looking for a quality example of this IRTP version of this label for a long, long time. Had an off grade one already and that was only the third one I ever had seen. Someone paid a LOT for the other two I saw and I came in second on bids for both of those. I went nuclear on my bid this time and ended up getting it for a lot less than my second place bids on the previous two that I had been out bid on. You can see a hundred of this label and you won't see an IRTP variation in any of them. I pictured the two versions of this can together in the last two pics with the IRTP on the right.
c. Had been looking for this one ever since someone posted a pic of it on a thread on the RB and no one had ever seen it. No one. It has the older style "Student Prince" in the circle but a later Heidelberg in red without the dark blue/purple outline on the lettering. Kind of a transition can. I got it for a decent price because it wasn't listed as one of the no blue outline cans and floated under most peoples notice in the flood of Heidelberg wind tunnel cans.
D. I thought I was getting an upgrade with this wind tunnel can but ended up with a different variation. The stein is a different color in the can I thought it was replacing. Love it when that happens.
