Step back in time and own a piece of California's citrus industry history with this rare 1930s Caledonia crate label! This stunning vintage advertisement is more than just a pretty picture - it's a window into the golden age of American agriculture and design.

Feast your eyes on the exquisite purple thistle flowers, proudly representing the Scottish heritage of the Caledonia brand. The cream-colored background provides the perfect canvas for this eye-catching artwork, showcasing the impeccable lithography that simply can't be replicated with modern printing techniques.

Measuring a generous 10" x 10 3/4", this label once adorned wooden crates filled with Marsh Seedless Grapefruit from the sun-kissed orchards of Placentia, Orange County. Imagine the journey these fruits took, from the groves of Southern California to dinner tables across the nation, all proudly bearing this beautiful label.

Created by the renowned Western Litho Co., this 1930s Caledonia crate label is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The Scottish thistle design, set against a traditional plaid background, symbolizes the strength and resilience of both Scotland and the hardworking farmers of California's citrus industry.

This label isn't just a decorative item - it's a tangible connection to the past. As you hold this piece of history in your hands, you'll feel the weight of nearly a century of American agricultural heritage. It's a conversation starter, a unique addition to any collection, and a glimpse into the rich tapestry of California's citrus industry.

Fruit crate label enthusiasts and history buffs alike will appreciate the rarity of this find. With only one left in stock, this Caledonia crate label is a true collector's item. While there's some minor edge wear on the bottom right, it's hardly noticeable when displayed - a small reminder of the label's authentic vintage status.

As the demand for these vintage labels continues to rise, opportunities to own such a well-preserved piece of Americana are becoming increasingly scarce. This 1930s Caledonia crate label offers a unique chance to own a slice of California's agricultural golden age, when citrus was king and every crate told a story.

Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to add a genuine piece of California's citrus industry history to your collection.
