Description: Antique Vintage Exposition Crate Label made by Johnstone Fruit Company out of Santa Barbara, California 1930s 12 1/2" x 9" ~ What a beautiful label! It is amazing how beautiful and historic these are for this price. This is celebrating the World's Fair that was held in 1909. What a weird time in history they actually raffled away a month-year-old baby that nobody claimed the prize to. I wonder what happened to the baby? They also had exhibits set up by a french Doctor that display premature babies in incubators before they were even a thing. Besides all the oddities some positive things came out of this also as William Boeing, founder of Boeing, stated that it was at the Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition that he saw a manned flying machine for the first time and became fascinated with aircraft. My pictures seriously don't do it justice. Crate Labels are a reminder of a bygone era but the amazing lithography process is unparalleled even to this day in my opinion. Museums and Art Institutes have galleries dedicated to them and more and more of them and collectors are seeking these out to preserve their history. Once the limited supply for sale is gone and on display with collectors or in galleries then they will be very difficult to acquire. Imagine this amazing vintage advertising hanging as home décor in any room of your home instead of a museum! This piece is within 10 years of full antique status.
