A label for a box of Del Monte brand white navy beans, ca. 1920s.

At top and bottom are the brand logo in a gold-bordered shield with red field and the words "DEL-MONTE / BRAND / QUALITY" in white letters in two places. The word "BEANS" in white block letters is also in two places. Between two thin gold lines are the following: at left, a black bordered box with a green field containing information on other Del Monte products, as well as the company name and location; to left of center the brand logo, as described above, with the product name below in white letters and the product weight in green letters; at right of center another green box with a product description and directions for use; and, at right, a repeat of the logo, product name, and product weight. Aside from light discoloration, there are no indications of wear or damage and the artifact is in good condition.Lexicon
