Item Description

1918 US Poster Stamp For Real Lemonade Use Sunkist Unused Hinge Mark 90% Original Gum. This Vintage Poster Stamp Is A Charming Advertisement For Sunkist, Promoting Its Lemons As The Essential Ingredient For Making “Real Lemonade.” The Design Features A Bright Yellow Lemon Resting On A Crumpled White Wrapper That Bears The Sunkist Name, Positioned On The Left Side Of The Image. To The Right Is A Tall, Clear Glass Filled With Lemonade, Complete With Floating Lemon Slices And Two Wooden Stirrers Or Straws. The Background Is A Deep Navy Blue, Which Provides A Striking Contrast To The Vivid Yellow Of The Lemon And The Glass, Making The Imagery Pop. The Text Reads “For Real Lemonade Use Sunkist,” With Each Word Stylized Differently To Catch The Eye—“Real” In White Italics, “Lemonade” In Bold Golden Yellow, And “Sunkist” In Its Signature Orange Type. This Poster Stamp Likely Dates From The 1920s To 1940s, A Time When Sunkist Growers, Inc., The California-Based Citrus Cooperative, Was Heavily Investing In Consumer Advertising. The Company Was Renowned For Its Creative Marketing, Distributing Promotional Materials Such As Recipe Booklets, Blotters, And Stamps To Encourage Citrus Consumption Across North America. In This Example, The Message Emphasizes Freshness, Simplicity, And Authenticity—Tapping Into Sunkist’s Long-Standing Association With Purity And Healthfulness. This Stamp Was Likely Used In Product Mailings, On Fruit Crates, Or As A Giveaway Item At Grocery Stores And Trade Fairs. It Reflects The Golden Era Of Branded Food Ephemera, When Companies Blended Color, Clever Layout, And Emotional Appeal To Build Everyday Recognition And Trust. Chat GPT
