Description

Step back in time with the extraordinary Green Guard Asparagus Crate Label, a true gem from the 1950s! Crafted by the innovative K.R. Nutting Co. in Salinas, California, this isn't just any old label – it's a portal to a bygone era of American agriculture and marketing genius. Picture this: a bustling marketplace, wooden crates stacked high, each adorned with this eye-catching piece of art. That's the magic this label brings to your collection!

Measuring a generous 9 3/4" x 9 1/2" and boasting little to no wear, this Guard Asparagus Crate label is in pristine condition, ready to transport you back to the golden age of produce marketing. It's not just a label; it's a time capsule!

But wait, there's more! These vintage asparagus crate labels were marvels of design ingenuity. Shaped like trapezoids to hug the slanted sides of wooden crates perfectly, they were the supermodels of the produce world – always looking flawless, never a wrinkle in sight. This clever design ensured that the Green Guard Asparagus brand stood out on crowded shelves, a testament to the brilliant minds behind its creation.

Speaking of brilliant minds, let's talk about K.R. Nutting Co. These folks weren't just label makers; they were agricultural revolutionaries! As one of the founding fathers of the Growers Ice Company in 1936, they helped put the Salinas Valley on the map as the 'Salad Bowl of the United States.' Imagine being part of the team that coined the term "iceberg lettuce" – that's the kind of history you're getting with this label!

But here's the kicker – this Green Guard Asparagus Crate Label isn't just rare; it's practically extinct! Created using a meticulous lithography process involving stone or metal plates, each label is a work of art in its own right. With only a handful left in existence, owning one is like having your own little piece of agricultural history. It's not just a purchase; it's an investment in a vanishing piece of Americana!

Now, picture this beauty hanging on your wall. It's not just decor; it's a conversation starter, a slice of history, and a splash of vintage cool all rolled into one. Whether your style is farmhouse chic or modern industrial, this label adapts like a chameleon, adding a touch of nostalgia and a pop of color to any room. It's versatile, it's unique, and it's calling your name!

Don't let this rare Green Guard Asparagus Crate Label slip through your fingers. It's more than just a collectible; it's a time machine, a piece of art, and a slice of American history all wrapped up in one stunning package. Grab it now and add some vintage veggie vibes to your space!
