Description: This charming vintage cotton cloth grain bag is a great find for the collector of farmhouse primitives or nostalgic rustic agriculture memorabilia. The bag features the Royal River Seamless logo in the center with large "A" on the front with a band of stripes on either side front and back. I am not sure of the age of the bag (possibly 1940's?) but it has been in my possession since 1972 and belonged to my mother before that. A wonderful authentic piece of Americana, perfect for either storage or display! 40" long x 18" wide. Condition: Vintage grain bag with lovely slightly faded logo and stripes in great condition despite its years of use. Very durable cloth yet soft to the touch after many washings. A small spot is shown in the last photo. I have not tried to remove the spot. No holes, no rips. Royal River grain bags were made in the area of Yarmouth, Maine on the Royal River. The Yarmouth, Maine, Historical Society notes that "The Royal River has had a lasting impact on the community of Yarmouth. There are four falls along the river and the energy produced by them led to the development of the town. Grain, lumber, fulling mills were among the early types of mills found along the river." "Papermaking started at the second falls in 1816 when William Hawes and the Cox brothers built their mill on Bridge Street. This mill lasted in various forms until about 1840. The familiar brick mill, known today as the Sparhawk Mill, was built in 1855, replacing an earlier structure that was damaged by fire. Operating under the name Royal River Manufacturing Company, this mill manufactured cotton yarn, cloth, and seamless grain bags. Production continued at the mill until 1951."
