Description
A friend helped me with a photo of a stack of cans as well as references to older cans. I kept some from the stack and swapped others out for older labels. Eatmor salmon is probably my favorite, although Dickie Beans are a close second... : )

Revisiting this incredibly detailed drawing of vintage cans with their beautiful labels.

Beautiful good old times. I love the Bartlett Pears (the one with the bird). Excellent job, dear Meg.

Seeing these old cans brought back a memory of when I was a kid and sitting and staring at a can of Little Sailor Peas which featured a sailor holding a can of peas with the same label until it disappeared altogether. I think that was my first encounter with infinity. Love this and the memory it invoked!
