Default Estes motor label

Just came across this B6-4 in a bag-o-motors a friend gave to me; I don't recall seeing this label before; no doubt it was during my hiatus from the hobby. Any info about this label, or a concise lineage of various labels used on Estes motors?

That's a fairly new label -they spruced them up a bit to look pretty on the store shelves

I had some C6-3's with that labeling. My dad had them laying around from when he was able to use rocketry as a teaching aid, he just had them stored away at his school. I think they were from the late 90's or early 2000's. They had the COBRA packaging.

I remember flying some like that (I think they even had mini-motors stamped similarly during that time as well). It's fairly recent, I think somewhere in the mid-late 1990's or (very) early 2000's.


EDIT. Whoops, I got beaten. That's what happens when you forget to press the "submit" button.

All my C5-3 have a similar label. Package has 1999 Centuri Corporation, All Rights reserved, on the bottom of the Backside.
