Can Label, Mansfield's Evaporated Milk, Original NOS Lithograph, Antique 1912, Rare

This Mansfield's Brand evaporated milk label carries a 1912 copyright and comes from the same box under the stairs of a demolished cannery that yielded our Bess Brand label — the two survived together.

• Maker: Mansfield's Brand
• Materials: Stone lithograph paper
• Dimensions: 9.75" wide x 4" tall
• Origin: USA
• Era: Antique, 1912
• Condition: New Old Stock (NOS) — unused, excellent mint condition. Age-appropriate yellowing consistent with period. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
• Framing: Ideal for a narrow frame — ready to display

A cow's head — Jersey or Guernsey, rendered with quiet authority — is framed above and below by a decorative border of red squares and lines within a deep blue surround. The red, white, and blue palette is not accidental: this is American dairy industry design at the moment it found its visual language, and that language is unmistakably patriotic.

Frame it as early Americana, dairy history, or patriotic decor with genuine antique age behind it — a natural companion to the Bess Brand label from the same United Milk Products cannery stock. A wonderful gift for an Americana collector, a dairy history enthusiast, or a patriotic decor collector.

Mansfield's Brand was produced by United Milk Products Corporation; stone lithography of this period required months of hand-work per plate. Very few examples of this age survive in any condition, and in this condition — mint, unhandled, over a century old — they are genuinely rare.
