Crate Label, Red Bill Brand, Michigan Celery, Goldfinch, NOS, Vintage 1930s

Stone lithography from the 1930s is a different animal from the offset printing that followed it, and the tonal richness here shows exactly why.

• Brand: Red Bill Brand / Harry Becker Co., Detroit, Michigan
• Produce: Vegetables (Celery)
• Origin: Detroit, Michigan, USA
• Materials: Paper, stone lithograph
• Dimensions: Approx. 11.5" tall
• Era: Vintage, circa 1930s
• Condition: New Old Stock (NOS) — unused, excellent mint condition, age-appropriate yellowing. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.

A yellow bird with bold black markings — possibly an American Goldfinch, possibly a rare Yellow Cardinal — perches with composed attention beside a vivid green celery stalk, the large white lettering giving the whole composition a direct, confident economy.

Frame it as bird art or 1930s graphic design — it works beautifully in a kitchen or breakfast room.

This is also a rarer find in its provenance: a Detroit-packed celery label rather than the California and Washington fruit labels that dominate the collecting world.

A wonderful gift for a birder, a goldfinch lover, or a vintage graphic design enthusiast.
