Hey Jon, I think there might be a conspiracy here. I havent reproduced the Dole 'rim' label but with the world's biggest Banana only 5 minutes away from home and me living on the 'Bananacoast' it sure looks like I might be responsible. If there is interest in these out there amongst CR members...I am happy as always to oblige with a print run. My local Banana Grower's Federation might disfavor any association with Dole as we try to keep imports out, and I also live in their old plantation manager's house. Now for HF hubs.....remember Crocodile Dundee's 'this is a knife!' ..well ....'this is a hub!' and HF means Huge Flange ..see link

"Fakes" is kind of a strong word. Although he is on to something as I'm pretty sure those are Greg Softley's Dole repro's. Like most of Greg's stuff they are good enough that it is really hard to tell. There are some very subtle differences that a huge Carmen Miranda fan like myself can discern from an original though.
BTW Greg, I do need a set of those for a project I'm working on if you are going to do another run.
