Mini Story or Hook:

A charming relic from regional Victoria’s canning heyday, this framed crate end once formed part of a shipping box for SPC—Shepparton’s proud fruit-preserving legacy. With its bold red S.P.C. logo and stencil-style lettering, it celebrates an era when Aussie canned fruit was packed by hand and shipped across the world. Now beautifully preserved in a timber frame, it makes for a perfect piece of kitchen décor, man cave nostalgia, or Shepparton history.
