Collection of Over One Hundred Fifteen (115) Butter Wrappers with Original USDA Label Micro-metal Photoengravers' Printing Plate
- United States , 1970
United States, 1970. Good to very good. Some minor staining, creasing.. A collection of over one hundred fifteen (115) butter wrappers from c.1975, together with an original micro-metal photoengraver's printing plate for USDA butter wrapper labels. An interesting collection that showcases a kind of ephemera that permeates the day-to-day lives of most Americans but rarely survives due to its disposable nature. Brand names represented in the collection include Cabot, Code, State Brand, McDonalds, North American, and Lov-It. USDA certification listed on most. The wrappers are made from either paper, wax paper, or metallic foil, and range in size from approx. 1.25" by 1.25" to 3.5" by 3". The printing plate measures 3" by 13.25
