Antique Jelke Good Luck Oleomargarine Wooden Advertising Crate Primitive Farmhouse Decor
Circa 1920s–1940s
Materials: Wood
Authentic, antique, all-original, wooden advertising crate featuring original stenciled print and original primitive round nails. Aged patina throughout. This piece has genuine wear from age and use, including scratches, fading, discoloration, and rustic imperfections that add to its charm and authenticity. One of the most interesting flaws is that one long side is upside down. This idiosyncrasy makes the box truly special, and very rare! Please see the pictures.
The old lettering reads:
JELKE GOOD LUCK OLEOMARGARINE
"The Fine Taste Satisfies – The Low Price Gratifies"
