Sea Island Sugar Crate — Pure Cane Confectioners Powdered, Vintage Wood Box
A vintage wooden crate originally used for Sea Island Sugar’s Pure Cane Confectioners Powdered variety, this piece offers a charming glimpse into early 20th-century food distribution and packaging. The crate is boldly marked on both ends with stenciled and embossed branding, including the weight "30 POUNDS NET WEIGHT" and "PURE CANE CONFECTIONERS POWDERED," along with an oval manufacturer’s emblem and a stylized Sea Island Sugar logo.
Made from solid wood with dovetail construction, the box features a worn whitewashed finish and circular vent holes on either end—typical of shipping and storage crates from the era. The aged patina, faded typography, and natural grain lend it an authentic rustic appeal, making it a standout for display or repurposing.
A compelling find for collectors of advertising memorabilia, general store artifacts, or farmhouse-style décor.
Condition
In good condition with age-appropriate wear. Displays surface fading, light scuffs, and a few small cracks consistent with its age. Branding remains visible, though softened by time. Structurally solid and visually appealing as a decorative item.
