Measuring 13.5 inches wide x 12.5 inches deep x 11 inches high, this fabulous 1880's, New York State, wooden egg crate is truly unique in that in addition to the egg crate manufacturer, it also advertises a local clothier! Advertised are: "Farmer's Friend, Manufactured by WANCY EGG CARRIER, Patented Oct. 1888, Fort Plain, NY" and "Zielley & Tunncliff, The Leading Clothiers and Gents Furnishers, Fort Plain, NY".
Graphic labeling is dark and clear! Displays wonderfully!!! The crate remains quite sturdy in construction and also retains its original handle and its original lid which will fall into the crate if the crate interior is not stuffed, or alternately, one may "kiddy-corner" the lid on top of the crate where it will rest quite nicely for display.
A neat old advertising piece!!
