Collectable Ephemera: Fruit labels Fruit labels are a fairly recent innovation (perhaps 1998) in the display and sale of fruit in grocery shops and supermarkets in the U.K. They are printed on paper or on plastic film and often bear the name of the fruit to which they are attached. The designs are colourful and apparently identical labels may, like postage stamps, differ because of small variations in printing, colour, design, typeface details and security incisions. The images of more than 1,000 labels are displayed.	Collectable Ephemera: Fruit wrappers Fruit wrappers adorn oranges and lemons in London grocery shops and fruit barrows. The designs include boldly coloured roundels and simple repeated lines of text. About 170 wrappers are illustrated here.
