1950s Estero Lemons Crate Label Santa Barbara CA 12.25x8.75" Schmidt NOS: $8.95
This 1950s Estero Lemons crate label was produced by the Goleta Lemon Association of Santa Barbara County, California and lithographed by Schmidt Litho Co. of Los Angeles. Measuring 12 1/4" × 8 3/4", it is a pristine New Old Stock example of mid‑century Southern California citrus packaging.
The label remains unused and unmounted, with no wear, retaining strong color and clean edges. The design features a coastal cove scene with schooners and palm trees, reflecting the maritime imagery commonly used by Santa Barbara County citrus associations.
Citrus crate labels were intended for short‑term commercial use and typically discarded, making NOS examples increasingly difficult to find. A clean example for collectors of California agricultural history and crate label art.
