This "crate label" is great. I love vintage art to begin with, but when I found Sweet Adeline, I had to have it because I'm a new Sweet Adeline!

I've bought other reproductions before; so I know this one is high-quality and perfectly sized. I loved the note that came with it; it said they can't always write personal notes, but mine had some and that was really fun. Will definitely be looking for more cool stuff from this seller!

Hi, I just wanted you to know before you modified that at all or anything that what you bought and have in your possession is almost 100 years old and completely original! Easy way to tell is turn it over and look at the back and you can easily see the paper age. I have to store everything at 35% humidity max and 70 degrees to keep everything this way. I just wanted to make sure you knew! Thanks for your support. Travis and the Kids
