Step back in time with this extraordinary antique 1920s Appleton Crate Label, a true gem from the Golden Age of fruit crate art! Crafted by the renowned Borgovich & Dragovich company in Watsonville, California, this rare piece of Americana is a testament to the rich agricultural history of the region.
