Hamburg Canning Co. Labels<br />

I have a collection of early canning labels<br />

that I have framed <strong>and</strong> hung in my<br />

kitchen. I used them as subjects for quilt<br />

squares.<br />

The “Hamburgh Peas” <strong>and</strong> “Refugee<br />

Beans”<br />

labels are quite common, I found them in<br />

an antique shop.<br />

I have never seen an<strong>other</strong><br />

“Hamburgh Sweet Corn”<br />

or “East Hamburg,<br />

Blackberries Preserved”<br />

A friend whose family ran an antique<br />

business found them for me.<br />

The Hamburg Canning Company, established in 1881<br />

was located on the north side of Evans St, at the Erie<br />

Railroad tracks. George M. Pierce was first president.
