Vintage Quincy Salmon Can Label 1920s
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
This antique canning label was used by the Quincy Wholesale Grocery Co. in Quincy, Massachusetts. Early embossed label with gold edging depicting the home of John Quincy Adams. Alaska salmon packaged under a store name.
Background: These labels were glued to orange crates. These brightly colored wooden crates were shipped nationwide by railroad to be sold in local markets. The packers and growers ordered the labels from printing companies that specialized in this work and 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.
Style: 30er und 40er Jahre
Dimensions: 10.2 x 25 cm
