Description

Step back in time with this extraordinary Antique Vintage 1940s Green Mill Valencias Oranges Crate Label! Crafted by the renowned Bradford Bros. Inc. in Placentia, California, this vibrant piece of Americana is sure to transport you to the golden age of citrus farming. Imagine the sun-drenched orange groves of yesteryear as you gaze upon the stunning rustic Dutch windmill design, a true masterpiece of vintage advertising!

Measuring a compact 11" x 10", this fruit crate label is in remarkable condition, boasting little to no wear. It's a testament to the quality and durability of these vintage treasures!

Bradford Bros. Inc. wasn't just any old citrus company - they were pioneers in the industry during the early to mid-20th century. Their eye-catching fruit crate labels, like the iconic "Miracle Brand" and "Sunkist California Dream Brand," became synonymous with California's citrus heritage. This Green Mill Valencias label is a prime example of their artistic prowess and marketing genius!

The Bradford Bros. packing house in Placentia was a bustling hub of activity, processing and shipping top-notch oranges across the globe. By teaming up with powerhouses like Sunkist Growers, they put California citrus on the world map. Though their operations ceased in the 1970s and their packing house was eventually demolished in the early 2000s, their legacy lives on through these captivating crate labels.

What makes these vintage 1940s crate labels so special? They're not just pretty pictures - they're windows into a bygone era! The scarcity of these labels only adds to their allure, making them highly sought-after by collectors and art enthusiasts alike. The impeccable lithography process used to create these masterpieces is a lost art, involving intricate stone or metal plate designs that simply can't be replicated today.

Museums and art institutes are clamoring to showcase these vintage fruit crate labels, dedicating entire galleries to their beauty and historical significance. But why settle for admiring them from afar when you can own a piece of history? This Green Mill Valencias label is your chance to bring a touch of vintage charm and sophistication to your own home!

Imagine this stunning antique vintage 1940s crate label gracing your walls, sparking conversations and turning heads. It's not just decor - it's a time machine, transporting you and your guests to the heyday of California's citrus industry. Don't let this rare opportunity slip through your fingers - add this remarkable piece of Americana to your collection today and elevate your home's aesthetic to new heights!
