Vintage Paper Arts

Original agriculture crate labels are fruit and vegetable advertising art. While never used on a final product, they are perfect for collecting, framing, and making art. These lithographic paper labels have historical significance, with some dating back to the early 1900s. They represent a snapshot of American agriculture and early marketing strategies, using regional culture and vibrant art to advertise to customers. While many vintage fruit crate labels are not dated, they have characteristics such as branding, printing quality, and trade marks, allowing collectors to approximate rarity and value.
