My pictures seriously don't do it justice. This has mild edge wear but doesn't affect the image, and I doubt you would ever notice it on display. Please see the pictures and video and judge for yourself.
Crate Labels are a reminder of a bygone era, but the amazing lithography process is unparalleled even to this day, in my opinion. Museums and Art Institutes have galleries dedicated to them, and more and more collectors are seeking these out to preserve their history. Once the limited supply for sale is gone and on display with collectors or in galleries, then they will be very difficult to acquire.
Imagine this amazing vintage advertising hanging as home décor in any room of your home instead of a museum!
