Lucky Trail Fancy is the brand name stamped across this California apple crate label, a small piece of commercial art that once rode on wooden boxes headed east by rail. Crate labels like this one were printed in bright color lithography to catch the eye of buyers at markets and grocers, with the fruit itself often pictured in bold, idealized detail. Growers and packinghouses used them to sell a regional product by name, so a label like this one also records how California's orchards were marketed nationally in the early twentieth century.
