Step back in time with this extraordinary Antique Vintage 1940s Pinnacle Medford Pears Crate Label! Crafted by the renowned Pinnacle Packing Company, Inc. in Medford, Oregon, this gem is a window into America's rich agricultural history.

Measuring a generous 10 1/4" x 7 1/4", this vintage 1940s Pinnacle label is in remarkable condition, showing little to no wear. It's as if it's been waiting all these years to grace your walls with its timeless charm!

The story behind this label is as captivating as its design. Pinnacle Packing Company, a cornerstone of Oregon's fruit industry, was born in 1917 when visionary Reginald Hascall Parsons saw an opportunity to showcase the bounty of Hillcrest Orchard and neighboring Rogue Valley farms. Parsons didn't just build a packinghouse; he created a fruit-packing powerhouse right next to the Southern Pacific rail tracks. This strategic location ensured that the luscious pears and crisp apples of Oregon could swiftly make their way across the country, delighting taste buds from coast to coast.

The original Pinnacle Packing plant at 130 E. Fir Street was a marvel of efficiency, boasting loading docks on both the railroad and street sides. Today, this architectural gem stands as a testament to Medford's industrial heritage. The faded "Pinnacle Packing Co" ghost signage on its brick façade whispers stories of bustling activity and the sweet aroma of ripe fruit that once filled the air.

But what makes this Antique Vintage 1940s Pinnacle Medford Pears Crate Label truly special? It's more than just a pretty picture – it's a rare artifact from a golden age of American advertising. The lithography process used to create these labels was nothing short of artistry, utilizing stone or metal plates to achieve a level of detail and vibrancy that even modern printing techniques struggle to match.

As the demand for these vintage treasures skyrockets, museums and art institutes are scrambling to secure their own pieces of history. But why should these beauties be confined to gallery walls? Imagine this stunning label as the centerpiece of your home decor, a conversation starter that transports guests to a bygone era of American ingenuity and agricultural pride.

Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Pinnacle Packing history! This Antique Vintage 1940s Pinnacle Medford Pears Crate Label isn't just a purchase – it's an investment in a rapidly vanishing slice of Americana. Once these labels find their forever homes in private collections and galleries, they'll become nearly impossible to acquire.

So why wait? Bring the nostalgia and elegance of 1940s Oregon into your living space today. This vintage 1940s Pinnacle label isn't just decor; it's a time machine, a piece of art, and a celebration of American craftsmanship all rolled into one.
