Vintage J. FACHINGER LANESVILLE INDIANA FRESH EGGS Grocery Paper Poster 1900s

Description

Vintage original J. FACHINGER FRESH EGGS PAPER POSTER SIGN Grade A Large J. Fachinger, Lanesville, Ind. circa 1900s. Notice the "Date Candled" section. Prior to electricity, eggs were held to candle light for inspection. Since the eggshell is transparent, the light from the candle underneath the egg would let you see if a body was growing inside. Prior to selling your eggs and by law, you had to post the date when inspected. The "Date Candled" section is where the date would have been written. These were used almost daily by farmers who sold their eggs by the roadside. As you can see in the photo, there is slight toning to the outer edge due to age, although this just gives it even more character. There is a tiny bit of edge wear too. Unwrap carefully, this is fragile. We do combine shipping. After 1lb. we go by USPS standards, by the ounce.
NOTE: We are extremely careful with processing orders. Our outside activity is only going to the grocery store or for medicine and we always wear masks and gloves with wipes. Any items you buy from us will be handled with us wearing masks, gloves, and wipes. It might take extra time for your order to arrive since we use the USPS and are working with them on pickup of items instead of us having to go to the USPS itself.  Most important of all please take care of yourselves, we are here for you, as a business that has been around 18 plus years. We will all get thru this together!
