Apple Crate Label
Apple Crate Label
- Description (Brief)
- This Nuchief brand apple crate label was in use from 1900-1950. Nuchief often used an image of a Native American boy, but at some point began using an image of one yellow and one red apple next to their label inserts. This U-Like-Um insert depicts a Native American riding a horse and shooting an arrow at two deer. Native American imagery was frequently depicted on the crate labels of various fruit distributors to evoke the idea of rich, natural produce.
