Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
This antique can label was used by J. Langrall & Bro. Inc, Baltimore, Maryland. It dates to the 1930s and is in perfect condition. Its authenticity is guaranteed.
Background: These labels were glued to cans. These colorful cans were shipped nationwide by railroad to be sold in local markets. The packers and producers ordered the labels from printing companies that specialized in this work and that employed large numbers of commercial artists. The artists were not well paid and rarely received credit for their work. Most commercial use of labels ended during World War II due to raw material rationing and shortages. The labels were almost completely phased out in the 1950s.
Tip: Frame it and hang it in the kitchen. An extraordinary and individual eye-catcher.
