This antique advertising glass panel for Dr. Price’s Special Flavoring Extracts is an authentic piece of commercial history from Chicago, dating to approximately 1917.
The brand honors Dr. Vincent Clarence Price, the grandfather of the famous actor Vincent Price. This successful flavoring extract business established the family’s fortune, making this panel a unique link to the early life and legacy of the iconic actor. In a notable continuation of his family's connection to the culinary world, Vincent Price later became a respected gourmet chef and cookbook author.
This specific glass panel came from a commercial door in the Chicago facilities just before the brand was retired around 1917. As a rare and specific artifact, it represents a direct connection between the industrial history of Chicago and Hollywood history, making it a significant item for enthusiasts of antique Americana.
