Before energy drinks and stadium shows, Fourth of July meant a brick of firecrackers with a label worth keeping. Sea Horse Brand — one of the classic mid-century Chinese firecracker labels that defined the American Independence Day experience — brings delicate vintage illustration art to a heavyweight tee. The seahorse illustration, the layered border, the careful typography. This is fireworks packaging as something worth framing.
Printed on a premium Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed heavyweight tee — 6.1oz, relaxed fit, soft vintage wash finish. Unisex sizing, true to size. DTG printed, machine washable cold, tumble dry low.
Sea Horse Brand firecrackers were part of the mid-century Chinese fireworks trade that supplied American celebrations from coast to coast. The animal-themed labels were designed to catch the American eye and they succeeded — bold enough to sell from a roadside stand, beautiful enough that collectors have been saving them for decades.
The perfect gift for vintage fireworks collectors, Fourth of July enthusiasts, coastal Americana lovers, graphic tee fans, and anyone celebrating America's 250th birthday with something genuinely rare.
The Faded Label Co. — keeping the golden age of American art alive, one product at a time.
