A vintage 10 lb cloth flour sack printed in red and blue ink with bold text: “Lovelock Roller Mills — Choice Fresh — Graham Flour — Pitt Mill & Elevator Co., Lovelock, Nev.” The imagery includes a stylized sheaf of wheat. Likely produced mid‑20th century, when roller milling and decorative fabric sacks were prevalent. Historically, roller milling represented modernization in flour production—gradually replacing traditional millstone methods. Lovelock, Nevada, was historically a key agricultural hub and rail stop in Pershing County, contributing to its prominence as a regional milling center. Dimensions: 17 ½″ (height) × 9 ½″ (width) (approximate; cloth, folded and flattened) This lot may be picked up free of charge from our facilities in Sacramento, CA. Processing and shipping within the Continental US $30.00.
