The following three different Pappy's Jelly, Jam and Preserves jar labels are quite Rare. A family member had contacted us, and was kind enough to share a few words of history, and gave permission to share. {they would love to have these labels, and we would Love to see them go back home where they belong. Unfortunately we are still trying to make a living, and we need to sell for a profit, no matter how small that profit is, we need it}

Thanking with All Sincerity, Mr. G. C. White for his Kindness, sharing history;
"Robert L. Pappy (1870-1945) started the business out of his home in Daytona, in the early 1900s. By the 1920s he moved the operations to a bigger location in Jacksonville, under the name East Coast Preserves Company. After he died in 1945, his widow, and both sons, each continued the "Pappy" name of making preserves for a period of time in Melrose, Florida. Robert's younger son, F. Gerald Pappy, retired in 1980, and that was it."
By the way,
"Robert L. Pappy was my great-grandfather; great-grandson of Gaspar Papi (1750-1817), the immigrant that came to Florida in 1769,
as part of Andrew Turnbull's ill-fated New Smyrna colony.
When the colony folded in 1777, the survivors walked up the coast to St. Augustine where they settled, lived and died." ​

1970s Florida Citrus Juices, Tampa FloridaPast Receipt

Sold to Cu Cu Jo's

 FloridaPast History, comes in many forms.
Our Favorite has been old receipts.
Because the majority of them, have been thrown into the trash,
not many exist today.
This receipt is Nice example, in that the graphics are Great.
​Someone had to hand carve a printing block to create the group of oranges. Which is yet another historical subject.
Another nice thing about these receipts, is that they usually supply us the address, and the buyer.
With an idea, of how much citrus juice cost back in that day. Found among Mr. Demco's Papers.
Which we'll be sharing in the future on FloridaPast.com. Florida Citrus Juices Inc., was founded in 1961.

MEASURES; 6" x 3 1/2"
CONDITION; 9
FP #265
PRICE; $12.95

Rare Floyd L. Wray Flamingo Groves Field Crate

note that there are some minor cracks etc.

As time goes, it's getting extremely tough to find these old citrus field crates. When harvest time came, those of us who picked citrus, would fill these boxes, which later would be loaded up to travel.
Most were made of cypress wood, as this box is. Withstanding the wrath and elements of Nature. Depending on how and where these were stored, depended on how long their life span would be.
This crate was caught in time. Another few years, and it would have been non existent, like the majority of the others. Because of this, the crate we offer here can be considered Rare. A Tough box to come by. With a Lot of History attached to it.

Note the Obvious Wrath of Nature. Still remains Solid!

Looks worse than it really is

bottom panel has wrath of Nature, not so bad.

We had this in our home for many years.
It now belongs in your collection.
