Besides serving the purpose of product identification, these
ORIGINAL CRATE LABELS were highly colorful, beautifully detailed, creatively designed and often humorous. The name of the farmer or members of his family were frequently used in the artwork. The labels were expensive to produce and often made in large quantities to be used over several years. As packing houses went out of business, or crate labeling was no longer used, leftover labels were kept in storage, eventually resurfacing to be recognized as the fascinating American artwork that they are.
Label prices are generally based on the number of labels of each type left in circulation.
These labels are a sure bet for a sound investment.
