I'm not quite sure how the Eloesser-Heynemann Company, makers of Can't Bust 'Em Overalls, originally used these labels. Because of the size, perhaps they were used on boxes or maybe just for in-store display. There's no date or manufacturing information present, but I'd date the piece being from the 1920s or 1930s.
that's a REAL beauty!...in the past I've found "Old Stock" shirts wrapped by the 1/2 dozen in brown paper with a bigger Label used as a seal...maybe the same deal...love the color!Kevin
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing, but the size is pretty big. The width is approximately 5 1/8 and the height is 6 3/4.
DeleteI am looking for info on Can't Bust 'em bib overalls for chickens. I know that they date back to 1911, but am wanting an estimated value. Thank you
