The antique 1920s Appleton Crate Label was made by Borgovich & Dragovich and was out of Watsonville, CA.
10 1/2" x 9 1/2". Little to no wear.
This is an eye-catching, rare example of stone lithography. Plates were so expensive that it was easier if the plate was still usable to block out sections that no longer applied or to the crate being used than to buy a new plate. You don't see a lot of this version anymore.
Like this one, Crate Labels are not just a piece of art but a tangible link to a bygone era, a slice of history preserved in vibrant colors and intricate details. The exceptional lithography process, a printing technique that was revolutionary in its time, used in their creation is unparalleled even to this day. Museums and Art Institutes have galleries dedicated to them, and a select few collectors are actively seeking them to preserve their rich historical and artistic value, a value that is truly unique and worth appreciating.
Envision this exquisite vintage advertising, a unique piece of décor, gracing your home and igniting lively conversations about history and art. It's not just a label; it's a catalyst for stimulating discussions, turning your home into a vibrant hub of intellectual exchange! Your guests will be captivated by the story behind this unique piece, sparking a new level of engagement and excitement in your home.
Love it and may buy another before they are gone. Great service and accompanying letter.
Thank you Myles and Charlee ! Quality control par excellence! And Dad Travis is doing a good job too. I am very happy with my fabulous, colorful fruit crate label. It got here all the way from good old USA and in perfect condition too. Keep up the the great work ! Many thanks and all the best, Robert.
