Large collection of bread labels, used by bakeries all over Israel. Israel, [ca. 1940s to 1980s].
A rich and varied collection of approximately 280 bread labels from dozens of bakeries. 180 of the labels are from bakeries in Tel Aviv-Jaffa and the rest are from bakeries in other cities, towns and Kibbutzim. Many of the labels bear the logo of the bakery – starting with Stars of David, other national symbols and simple illustrations of bread loaves and wheat stalks and ending with fine logos evidently designed by graphic artists. The collection contains labels from "Bialystoker" bakeries (presumably named after the "Bialy" bread originating in Bialystok); cooperative bakeries; and more. It also contains bread labels for the IDF from the bakeries "Ein-Bar", "Vadash" and more.
Approx. 280 bread labels. Size and condition vary.
