PEPPER FESTIVAL - WEBSTER, FLA - Hand Painted for one of the FloridaPast Pepper Festivals of Webster

_________

Old, Used, and Re-Used, but still here as a reminder of FloridaPast

From Central Packing Co., Center Hill, FloridaPast - Still in operation today, bigger than ever. Though this uniform patch is from back when. We found this in an Old Florida Cracker House. No electric, No plumbing. Had Cardboard for interior walls, and built out of pecky cypress. This place was torn down shortly after we did our treasure pick'inz.

Webster was once the pepper capitol of the world, way back in FloridaPast days

A REALLY GREAT PIECE OF Sumter County, FloridaPast History!

A Great Find - I have another for sale here on FloridaPast - Under Historical Paper Section
