We live in Brooklyn, N.Y.
This AM, we went next door to get the Daily News, and someone had thrown out an old apple crate, and the labeled wooden board was detached, which I snatched up very quickly, leaving behind the crate which is pretty filthy and I think bug-infested. It’s not in good condition: the label is torn off on the left edge, there’s scotch tape on a small part, the right side is peeling. But still beautiful and nostalgic enough to have laminated or polyurethaned (?????) to protect it from further damage. I know you’ll know this one when I tell you. I’d really appreciate if you could tell me how old it is:

“Delight Apples, Grown & Packed for North Pacific Sales Co., Seattle, Rotterdam.”
Gorgeous picture of mountains of Washington state and orchard in background, with a big, red apple on the right.

I can’t believe I found this: GOD is so good.

Thank you so very much for any info you have on this.

Sincerely Yours,

Joy Goldberg
