Walbeck Foods

[dcoffin5]

Here's one that I found last week in a dump where everything seems to date from 1940's & 50's. I can't seem to find much info about this company - Walbeck Foods, Phila., PA. Seems like they existed from maybe the 1930's thru the 50's. Anybody have any more info?

Only found one on eBay from a closed sale for $21. I have no idea why so much $?? except that the seller claimed "vintage art deco style" and maybe the buyer thought that it was older than the 40's / 50's timeframe and thought it was real art deco piece? I figure it's only worth a buck or 2, but I like the design shape.

Any addt'l info would be appreciated! [8D]
