not sure how old that could be. according to wikipedia, shurfine has been around since 1948. our local grocery sells shurfine products. most items are pretty good, some are bleh. either way, I'm sure the sack is fairly rare to see. could be worth a few bucks to someone.

Based on the information from their website, I suppose it is possible that it goes back into the 1930's, but not sure about that.

Rob, it's amazing that sack was not completely rotten. More to add to your historic collection. WTG, Q.

Cool old sack Rob. Put some stuffing in it and make a pillow out of it.
