You often find miniatures & figurine with just a Japan label. Here are some that have been identified as belonging to certain companies. Other labels are shown below this section. I wanted to get all the plain Japan stickers shown together for easier comparing.
.used by both Napco and Bridge. Some Bridge "Japan" labels will appear on some Lefton marked miniatures, because Lefton bought out Bridge in the mid 1970s and added their sticker to existing stock.
