A Bit of History about these labels:

ProducePackers used wooden boxes and labeled them with beautiful artistically drawn labels to attach to their boxes for identification as well as promote their product. This method was introduced to America by Europeans and became the first form of commercial art, known as lithography.
They were used from approximately 1880 to the 1950s when cardboard became the in dustry standard for shipping. What resulted was a limited supply of these beautiful labels being sold for pennies and even given away.

Now they are a beautiful piece of history and often are hard to find! These artistic labels would look fabulous framed and hung!
