Vintage Raspberry Crate Label - The Willamette Packing Co. | Historical Fruit Packaging Art #3096901 (License: Personal Use)

This ornate vintage crate label features a lush arrangement of raspberries, blackberries, apples, pears, and cherries under a bold “RASPBERRIES” banner, all framed by intricate Art Nouveau-inspired borders in red, gold, and teal. Produced by The Willamette Packing Co., likely in the late 1800s or early 1900s, the label exemplifies Pacific Northwest agricultural marketing aesthetics. Its vivid color palette and hand-drawn realism reflect the era’s emphasis on visual appeal to attract buyers at markets and grocery stores.

Used historically on wooden fruit crates for shipping and retail display; today, such labels are collected as Americana memorabilia, featured in museum exhibits, antique auctions, and digital archives focused on food history and graphic design evolution.
