Isenharts Seed Corn Apron Sack -- One Size

Batavia, Iowa, was the location of the seed company that used this vintage cloth bag that is now an apron.

The apron logo and wording are in blue. It reads:
Kernel From A
Detasseled Plant
Isenhart's
Hybrid
Seed Corn
J.H. Isenhart
Batavia, Iowa
Nt. Wt. When Packed
56 Lbs.
Treated
Unfit for Feed

Cotton webbing was used for the neck strap and the waist ties. Cold water wash and line dry are recommended to prevent fading and shrinking.

The apron does have a few issues, including general stains as are typical of this age of sack, as well as some darker spots here and there. There are rust spots in the logo area. One patch was made on the bodice top. The fabric tends to stretch. Please consider all of these factors before purchase.

The bodice width is 11 inches.
The waist is 22 inches.
The length is 29 inches from the top bodice center to the hemline.
The waist ties are each 51 inches.
Please use measurements to determine size. This apron was designed for men, but many women like to purchase these sturdy aprons.

Isenhart Seed Company was operated by J.H. Isenhart 1939 to his death in 1971. Ralph Whisler was the other company operator. Detassled corn kernels help keep the crop variety genetics pure.

* Please keep in mind this apron was created from an authentic vintage cloth sack. Photos show the design and print darker than in actuality. While the apron is described as accurately as possible, due to the vintage quality there may be age marks not noted specifically. Also, finding some or many seeds or feed pieces caught in the fabric is quite common. The bags have been washed at least once and many seed/feed pieces have already been removed, but some may remain.
