Framed 'Duck Brand San Dimas Lemon Association' Vintage-Style Print

This item is a framed print, likely a reproduction of a vintage fruit crate label, specifically for "DUCK BRAND" citrus. The print features a prominent illustration of two ducks, one flying higher and smaller, and another larger duck in the foreground with wings outstretched, as if in mid-flight or landing. The larger duck has a gray body, blue-gray wings, and a striking red head and neck. The background of the print is a warm, faded orange-yellow, suggesting sunshine or a historical aesthetic. Text on the print indicates it was "PICKED AND PACKED BY SAN DIMAS LEMON ASSOCIATION, SAN DIMAS LOS ANGELES CO. CAL." This text is arranged vertically along the left side of the print, against a dark red or maroon background. The overall color palette is earthy and vibrant, characteristic of early 20th-century advertising art. The print is housed in a rectangular frame designed to mimic bamboo. The frame's material appears to be wood or a composite, painted and textured to resemble individual bamboo stalks bound together. The corners of the frame show a slight separation or wear, common in older or well-handled frames. The top right side of the print displays a noticeable diagonal crease or glare under the protective glazing, indicating either a flaw in the print itself or the glazing. Despite this, the colors of the print remain vivid. The craftsmanship of the frame, while decorative, is simple, suggesting a commercially produced item rather than a custom artisan piece. The piece is likely a decorative reproduction from the late 20th or early 21st century, capitalizing on the appeal of vintage Americana and natural themes.
