Dear list. . .
I'm looking for a date range on the following two artifacts found in a
collapsed log cabin in interior Alaska.
1) A can measuring 3 1/4 inches tall by 5 inches diameter. All crimped
seams. Lithography all around, maker's mark: "Golden Glow/
Pasteurized." I'd wager that this is a butter can, and the lithography
motifs appear to be 20s or 30s, but I'd like a more definite date.
2) A packing crate (nailed to the cabin wall as a shelf) with the
following marks on a glued paper label: "Gold Bar/ [illeg.] APRICOTS/
GRIFFIN & SKELLE[illeg.]/ BLEACHED WITH SULPHUR."
Doesn't bleaching fruit with sulphur sound healthy? Mmmmmmmm. Thanks,
folks!
