A fantastic lot of seven (7) vintage wooden advertising crates, perfect for rustic storage, farmhouse decor, or for collectors of historical advertising ephemera.

The lot includes a mix of styles, sizes, and graphics, primarily for fruit and beverages:
• Soda Crate (1 PC): One large, gray-wash crate featuring classic 7UP graphics painted on the side.
• Junior Brand Fruit Crates (3 PCS): Three crates with colorful, graphic paper labels for "Junior" brand fruit (oranges/pears). These labels are highly collectible.
• British Columbia Crates (3 PCS): Three crates with stamped or stenciled graphics, including those referencing British Columbia Fruit Shippers (Vernon, B.C.) and Vancouver.
• Construction: Crates are constructed of light wood, typical of mid-20th-century shipping containers.

CONDITION & NOTES:
Condition: Crates are vintage, used shipping containers and are being sold AS IS.
Wear: Expect heavy wear consistent with their age and original purpose, including: scuffs, scratches, soil, staining, minor splitting of wood, and rusting/wear on any original staples or nails.
Labels: The original paper labels (Junior) show wear, creases, and discolouration, which adds to their authentic, antique appearance.
Function: Crates are structurally sound for decorative use and storage.
This collection offers an excellent variety of collectible advertising and decor pieces.
