Description :

Offered is a curated collection of original vintage paper crate and product labels, dating primarily to the mid-20th century, once used on wooden produce and shipping crates. These labels are admired for their bold typography, rich colors, and classic Americana illustrations.

The group includes agricultural, beverage, and novelty branding—from glamorous pin-up produce art to character-driven and regional designs. Per the included informational card, these are authentic original labels, preserved from packing houses and growers’ collections after wooden crates were phased out in favor of printed cardboard boxes in the 1950s.

An excellent grouping for collectors of vintage advertising, ephemera, or for framing as decorative wall art.
