This is an old label from 1930 and has got a wonderful embossisng on the back.

What I have heard: Feigen (=Figs) Bananas are dried bananas and came in a box from cameroon, because it was that time nearly impossible to ship fresh bananas this long way. In the box of the dried bananas was this label as a promotion.

There is a picture of a fig-box in the gallery: http://banana-label-catalog.org/gallery/izmir-figs

Figo banana, that is the name in Brazil for a sort of bananas. So, this bananas are sold not only dried. Maybe they are (or have been) the most suitable banas for drying. In our collections are some FIGO BANANA labels.
