Info

Hamburg Canning Co. Labels I have a collection of early canning labels that I have framed and hung in my kitchen. I used them as subjects for quilt squares. The “Hamburgh Peas” and “Refugee Beans” labels are quite common, I found them in an antique shop. I have never seen another “Hamburgh Sweet Corn” or “East Hamburg, Blackberries Preserved” A friend whose family ran an antique business found them for me. The Hamburg Canning Company, established in 1881 was located on the north side of Evans St, at the Erie Railroad tracks. George M. Pierce was first president.
Another Hamburg print. According to an old newspaper advertisement from 1889 “Thirty -Third Annual Exhibition of the Erie C. Agr’l Society” On The Fair Grounds At HAMBURG. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, August 27, 28, 29 & 30, ’89 Grand Baloon Ascention and Paraschute Drop” On Wednesday the 28 which will be a Grand Spectacle.” I couldn’t resist copying this advertisement just as it appeared in 1889. I made the print in 1983.
