   I think geography plays a part, too. The two big companies in the 1970s   
   and 1980s were Sterling and Star. The one-stops I dealt with in New   
   England all used Sterling, so the Sterling style (flanking arrows pointing   
   at the name of the artist) and their color-codes are the signs of period   
   authenticity to my eyes.

   When I've had authentic title strips of the late 1950s, they've usually   
   been the very simple style that has thin red lines above and below the   
   artist, lines that go all the way to the left and right edge with no   
   adornment. Again, this could be typical of title strips used in New   
   England rather than being uniform all over the continent.
