As of 03/03/2025 there Are Three Celled Paper Label types.  There is only one example of the Type 3 and the oldest Borsalino.  Dimensions for Types 1 and 2 can vary. 

 

Type 1 (Sweatband Date Stamped 05/17/1929)

Type 2 (No Date)

Type 2 is slightly longer and less wide than Type 1. The Type 2 cell size and alignment are also different. The Type 2 dimensions are more similar to later non celled paper labels. Sometime during the 1930s the Celled Paper Labels were dropped. I am not sure how far back the Celled Paper Labels go.

Type 3 

The only example so far. The main Cells are not offset and no Borsalino Grand Prix Paris 1900 on the left side. This is probably the oldest Cell Paper Label (so the oldest of any kind) found so far. 

 

The following are the Celled Paper Label Borsalinos I found in the Borsalino Brotherhood. Unfortunately some of the photos are lacking in quality.

 

Echter Borsalino "Fico" "Lama", French Size Point 6, date stamped May 18, 1929, German Market.

The following hats that belong to Tonio have an additional "Campione/Sample" Paper Label on the sweatband with "Refer.", "Modello.", "Colore.", "Feltro." and "Qualita." entries.  The "Modello." and "Colore." entries are also referenced on the Celled Paper Label.

The "Modello./Model"  is the upper left cell of the paper label.  The "Colore./Color" is the lower left cell.  I will have to see if I can find these two "Modello./Model" numbers in the old Borsalino documents.

What is interesting is the "Feltro/Felt. Charlait"  is the same for both the Soft Felt and the Stiff Felt. I couldn't find anything specific regarding "Charlait" and felt but the term was also used by French Hat companies.  Borsalino still uses the term "Charlait" today but appears it to be a model type or style.
