European Vintage Grain Bag, Bearing Owner's Stamp

Stencilled owner, town and year, finished with a tidy sprig at the bottom.

This vintage linen grain bag bearing the owner's stamp is ca. 1900. Sacks of this type were frequently sewn from narrow lengths of homespun cloth, and a visible seam running along the center is a common feature. Gray-beige sack with a thread loop at the top corner. Block letters read A. Kohn in Amstetten, a date sits below, and a small laurel-like sprig is stamped at the foot. It is 23 inches wide and 53 long.

A label that has outlasted the contents.
