Pelican Bakery Houma Louisiana - Good for 5¢ Loaf Bread This bakery was in business during the 1910s. Octagonal aluminum, 23mm TC-152258 ; Crawford-Farber 4256-P/1-5 This bakery was in business during the 1910s. 5¢ was a lot of money to the poor people of south Louisiana back then.

I'm rediscovering so much local history. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
