Vintage Shipping Label from The Scofield Corp. on Copper Painting Verso

This item is a historical shipping and provenance label adhered to the verso (back) of a painting executed on a copper substrate. The label is an authentic paper document from the mid-20th century, specifically identifying 'The Scofield Corp.' based in Box 8, Marietta, Georgia, as the sender. It is addressed to a 'Max Segal' at '2026 Wharton Street, Philadelphia, Pa.' The paper possesses a cream-colored hue with red-orange printed borders and text headers typical of postal stationary from the mid-1900s. Physically, the label shows significant signs of age and handling; it is heavily wrinkled, showing 'bubbling' where the adhesive has likely reacted with moisture or the metal surface underneath. There is visible tearing on the left-hand side and scuffing throughout the center, which has obscured some of the typed recipient information. The number 'Case # 5485' is clearly visible at the bottom, suggesting a commercial inventory or catalog system. The presence of this label on a copper painting indicates a mid-century American distribution or framing history, often associated with decorative or fine arts imports/exports during that era. The backing material visible around the label appears to be a protective kraft paper or light cardboard backing typical of professional framing.
