Rare Antique Vintage 1930s Penn Treaty Can Label, Philadelphia, PA, Patriotic!
11" x 4 1/2" ~ Excellent slight to minor wear. Few that are available of them out there were also affected. It doesn't affect the image; you would never notice it framed or mounted, but please see the pictures and judge yourself.
The Treaty of Shackamaxon, also known as the Great Treaty and Penn's Treaty, was a legendary treaty between William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, and Tamanend of the Lenape, signed in 1682. This treaty was a pivotal moment in American history, as it marked the first formal agreement between the indigenous Lenape people and European settlers. Penn and Tamanend agreed that their people would live in perpetual peace, a promise that has endured to this day. The treaty is Pennsylvania’s longest-standing historical tradition and is believed to have been signed under an elm tree at Shackamaxon. It allowed peace in the region, paving the way for commerce to flourish.
My pictures truly don't capture the label's full glory as the vibrant colors and intricate details are best experienced in person.
