'Sunsweet Quality'
prune or apricot wooden box crate, featuring black ink stamped graphic iconography on all four wood sidewalls, nailed corner construction and a wood plank floor. The crate is in very well preserved overall condition and the stamped ink is still readable, vivid and still saturated, making this an especially nicely preserved vintage wooden box crate. The wood sidewalls feature single board construction, with the floor showing two board construction. The corners are nailed together and to the wood plank floor below. The wood sidewalls have some minor staining as does the wood plank floor. The stamped graphic iconography has a great vintage look and a swagged style. The short sidewalls have numeric font, with the stamped numbers '18' & '24' featured. The graphics are clear and dynamic. The box hasn't been rinsed, otherwise touched or disturbed. It was only gently dusted off to remove dust & debris inside. It remains in 'as-found,' untouched, original vintage condition. Terrific.
CONDITION:
Good to Very Good overall vintage condition.
