I also have one of these. Details on inside label is Plate Fitting PBE6 Style no: 4F2 and wig number 9217. This was used by Tizzies Designs of Bulls and came with the business when I purchased it a couple of years ago. It would be interesting to see if we have the same style. The colour of the one in your collection is brighter than the one I have but this could be screen differences. I was curious as to the age of the wig and was it something in general circulation or a specialist retail display item.
