While rummaging through images of vintage vegetable and fruit crate labels I suddenly realized that a number of them reflected topics related to the graphic arts. Cool.

Super cool! I live in Seminole County, Fla about 45 min from Oviedo (first image) so it was of particular interest to me. Thanks!

In Orlando. If Disney doesn't own it, the Dr Phillips organization does. They made their fortune in Citrus, but, now most of their groves have been sold for real estate developments
 
Interesting to figure out how many pieces of film would have been required for some of these labels. Especially some of the text effects.
