Antique labels

I was doing some research on antique can labels...
Can't believe my eyes! This is a fruit crate label. But you can't really tell what it's selling, can you?

This one... a relative of cow lick? I wonder how they came up with this name. Don't think it sells too well. At least nowadays.

And then this one is on the opposite end of the spectrum. You just can't find a name this bold anymore.


Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, ooooooooh boy!


Image of seahorse selling sugar corn? That's... um, very unique. But instinct tells me, the corn's gonna taste like seahorse.

Where's the grape? OK, no grape. But at least it's waaaay better than the seahorse.


The least appetizing bartlett pear I've every seen. Looks like it's rotting.


Tomatoes good enough to kill? What's with the homicide on the right side of the label? (Go to the site and view it enlarged.)

At first glance, though it was a can of punch. At second glance, thought it was a can of grape fruit punch.

Scientific brand name #1. RADIO Pineapple??? Not radioactive, right? And it says pineapple delights instead of diced pineapple. Hmm...


Scientific brand name #2. SOLAR Broken Slices Pineapple, sounds so environmentally friendly! But not very appetizing.

Scientific brand name #3. ELECTRIC Red Kidney Beans. So good, it zaps you. Or... if you don't buy it, it zaps you?

Lawyer food? I imagine with their social and financial status, they would prefer fresh vegetable over canned stuff?

The girl looks a bit scary. Hold on, the label was stamped "below U.S. Standard. Good food - not high grade". No wonder why she's scary! (Naah, it's just smaller size peaches.)
Motor oil? Are you sure this is selling motor oil? Not some kind of personal oil? (It's also interesting that this is filed under food.)
