Lot 380
Beautifully Archived Vintage Collection of Crate and Can Labels of the 20th Century 300+. 3 Volumes each with almost a hundred sleeves of near pristine fruit, vegetable and can labels (some have multiples) beginning in the early 20th Century. Most are near pristine, a 30 year collection by a very intrepid collector whose passion in collecting is clearly evident. Many of these lithos boast stunning imagery and colors (some labels are embossed and with gold inks, virtually all small masterpieces) with just about all suitable for framing, most especially the crate labels. Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated but here are just a few of the labels: Lagrange Sweet Potatoes, Big City Pears, Orange Circle Oranges, Donnatex Grapefruit, Yakima Chief Apples, Parson Big Apples, Redlands Foothills Growers, Mammy Brand, Camel Mountain Pears and scores more. Estimate Value $400 - 600
