Fruit crates used to have colorful labels pasted on them and these artistic prints are now collectibles. Paperstuff.com offers a variety of vintage fruit labels sorted into various categories (type of fruit being one, of course). The prices range from $1 up to $100 for a rare orchid design. Most are in a very affordable range with plenty under $10. Sizes depend on the crate configuration which seems to depend on the fruit type. Avocado labels are narrow, orange ones are 10″ x 11″, lemons 9″ x 12″, pears vary. Hmmm, it’s a chance to collect something affordable (for now) that doesn’t take up much space (yet).
