I found this old Calypso

I found this old Calypso Label - unfortunately it has been light damaged can anbody verify approx. when it was issued. I have put 1991 as this was then I collected it, but I am pretty sure that the issue date is before.

John: "I have the Calypso

John: "I have the Calypso which I believe dates from the 1990's. I got mine between 1995 and 2000, in trade with one of the Danes. I also have two much older round Pan Am Fruit versions, which are from the 1970's I would guess. One is shown on your site, but not the other. I'm amazed how many variants of the modern labels there are -- I have maybe half of what you show. "
