Label for Keystone Grape Co Selected Grapes
Label is wider than it is tall, with curved left and right edges. Background of image is yellowed white. An intricate image of a blue and pink ribbon across the top has red text, "Keystone Grape Company" with red text below on a smaller ribbon "North East, Penna."
Center of label has a black keystone shape with a medium blue border, and white text "Keystone Grape Company, North East, Penna, Patented Reg."
Under the keystone is large red text, "Selected Grapes" and black text below, "Packed by George Sceiford, copyrighted by Keystone Grape Company."
Behind text but in front of yellowed background are three bunches of grapes with green leaves: far left is a dark purple, center grapes are light green, far right are red purple.
Note: The George Sceiford is presumed to be George W. Sceiford of North East, PA, who passed away April 17, 2010 at the age of 74. Born in Erie, PA on November 1, 1935, he graduated from North East High School in 1953 and Allegheny College in 1957, after which he returned to the family farms in North East, which he co-managed with his Father and, later his brother Chester. He served as a delegate to National Grape Cooperative. Along with several fellow grape farmers, he worked with local legislators and then Governor Raymond P. Shafer to pass the PA Limited Winery Act which permitted sales of wine at wineries. He was a founder of Penn Shore Winery.
