    DESCRIPTION:
    The black ink stamped typography on the left sidewall of the box is upside down and the ink stamping is half cut off. The stamping on the inside
    'Eat Quaker Oats'
    is the darkest and most vivid. This pretty snazzy
    early 20th century
    Quaker Oats
    wood box advertising crate,
    looks to have been at some previous point in time, cut-down, reassembled and put back together, to most likely suit where it was placed in the home, most likely used as a storage crate and having similar dimensions as a biscuit box. The
    wood box crate
    has its naturally aged, medium-toned wood patina, with amber, honey and gold colors. The black ink stamped typography is largely high-case and is the darkest, most saturated and blackest on the underside of the hinged top lid cover, hidden from the effects of sunlight over the years. The wood box crate looks to have been reconstituted in this size and form long ago, with nailed old, period antique fabric still found on its interior, which has been subsequently carefully and painstakingly removed. Just a great antique, early
    wood box advertising crate.
    What are you putting your kid's toys in? This was once universally known as 'cereal' and which we all remember eating and for which we couldn't pay our kids and grandkids enough money to go anywhere near now.
    Clearly, much has changed since we were kids.
    CONDITION:
    Good to Very Good overall antique condition.
