Scruffy found these in his grandfather’s attic.
Grandpa Scruffy made the frame. Getting it rematted.
Yes, photos suck.

No idea...but those will go great on the wall of a seafood restaurant if you ever decide to open one.

There’s a bunch of reprints of those floating around. Hard to tell...

Depends on if they are originals. You can buy the exact same copy pics at most wholesale stores here in NELA. Iv'e got the third one in our kitchen, got it for $12

that's pretty cool, hopefully they are original, I have seen a lot of those reproduced and sold in gift shops, if they've been up in the attic for at least since before the World's Fair they're probably the real deal

6 or 7 years old. You can find those at any Hobby Lobby.

Those are the old canning labels probably from the late 1800's, early 1900's when the company first started out if original.

That may be the case. Scruffy just figured they were old since it has been 30-40 years since his grandpa probably made a frame or did any woodwork.

that's about the time frame that everyone started jumping on the Cajun band wagon, circa 1984 when the World's Fair was in Nola, if he framed those before that, they could be original labels

Thanks.
Even if not original, still cool with the frame being homemade.
