🍋 About This Item

This original 1930s Lofty Lemons crate label was produced by the Fallbrook Citrus Association of Fallbrook, California and lithographed by H.S. Crocker & Co. Measuring 12 1/4" × 8 3/4", it features bold rustic artwork and the rich color typical of Crocker’s early stone‑lithography work. This example is preserved in true New Old Stock condition with clean edges and strong, unfaded color.

⭐ Why Collectors Value This Category

• Printed by H.S. Crocker & Co., one of California’s most respected lithographers of the early 20th century, known for rich inks, sharp stone‑lithography detail, and consistent print quality across major citrus associations.
• Produced by the Fallbrook Citrus Association, a well‑known grower and shipper in northern San Diego County. Fallbrook labels carry strong regional appeal because the area produced smaller, more limited runs than major citrus hubs, making surviving examples more desirable to collectors of Southern California agricultural history.
• Authentic 1930s issue — not a later reprint
• True NOS with excellent color and no handling wear
• Decor‑ready rustic graphics ideal for farmhouse and kitchen displays
• Originally intended for short‑term commercial use, citrus crate labels were applied to wooden shipping crates and discarded once the fruit reached market. Because they were never meant to be saved, well‑preserved NOS examples like this are increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors.

A beautiful, authentic piece of California agricultural history — perfect for collectors, decorators, and anyone who loves early Americana.
