Old Crate from My Demi-Hoarder Garage

Here's another item that was tucked away 

in my hoarder garage.

I grabbed it years ago from my ex-mother-in-law,

who is now in her mid 80's. She said she 

and her sister used it as a makeshift doll house

when they were little girls in Houston.

The wood is water stained and oxidized. 

I found this on Etsy, which shows it in much better condition:

via

I also found info on Mutual Orange Distributors.

They are in Orange County, CA. They began

in the early 1900s.

Here's the end of my crate, with remnants of a label.

I can't tell what the name on the label was,

but on the bottom right is "Index Mutual Association."

Click HERE to view a MOST interesting web page 

with a large collection of images of vintage citrus labels.

I have seen some pretty great uses 

for old crates on Pinterest. 

This one is a bit fragile, but still has some charm.

I'm going to see if it can be useful somewhere in my home.

Word for the Day:

Genesis 1:12
The earth brought forth vegetation, 

plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, 

and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, 

each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
