According to Guide to US Food Laws and Regulations [books.google.com/books?id=SdotAAAAQBAJ&pg=PT144&l...] the first quality standards for individual eggs were introduced in 1925.

The box behind him reads "one Dozen" on the end and "Fancy Sel..." on the side. It seems possible that it is "Fancy Select." books.google.com/books?id=Ai45AQAAMAAJ&pg=RA5-PA3 confirms that the "fancy select " label was used for eggs. I cannot read the badge he is wearing, unfortunately.

Gradations indicate the number of ounces a dozen of the same size eggs would weigh. "U.S. sizes are defined by the weight of a dozen eggs. (Not individual eggs. An egg in a carton of Extra Large eggs need not weigh at least 27/12 ounces, but the dozen must weigh at least 27 ounces.)" Size- Weight of a dozen eggs Jumbo- 30 ounces Extra Large-27 ounces Large- 24 ounces Medium- 21 ounces Small- 18 ounces Peewee- 15 ounces
