This two book set includes California Orange Box Labels: An Illustrated History and Fruit Box Labels: An Illustrated Price Guide to Citrus Labels both by Gordon T. McClelland and Jay T. Last.
California Orange Box LabelsThe definitive history of the production and use of California orange crate labels. Lavishly illustrated with 400 color illustrations, this book also gives information about the artists that designed the labels, a chapter on the lithographic printing process and a history of the companies that produced the labels. It is fully indexed.
Fruit Box Labels: An Illustrated Price Guide to Citrus Labels is the first full color price guide to citrus labels. 1500 labels are pictured, with market values and approximate dates when the labels were in use. Historical information pertaining to the four major citrus regions: Texas, California, Florida and Arizona, is presented along with collecting references and a full index. Prices are somewhat dated, from 1995, so it may be best served as an identification and rarity guide.
Price: $59.50
