can anyone identify some of these fonts or similar / hand drawnish fonts that would be good to start designing a look and feel like the old fruit crate labels? thanks so much!
The main logos on these were usually hand-lettered. There are lots of suitable candidates at Letterhead Fonts.
A few examples:
LHF Thick & Thin
LHF Hensler
LHF Egyptian
Various scripts
