PABST BREWING CO. TIN SIGN.

PABST BREWING CO. TIN SIGN. Important, rare and early sign produced by the Frank Tuchfarber Co., Cincinnati, Ohio for the Phillip Best Brewing Co. of Milwaukee. At the time this sign was made, this was the largest brewing company in the world. This sign bridges the transition from an eagle theme to the then new hop leaf and red circle logo. In early 1899 the brewery was renamed “The Pabst Brewing Company”. This sign dates to circa 1892, and would have been phased out by 1895 to make room for the new point-of-sale signs advertising “Blue Ribbon Beer” for the first time. Pictures a displayed eagle perched atop a bottle of Pabst beer draped in award medals. A fabulous example of rare early American breweriana. This is the only copy known to cataloger. SIZE: 24″ h x 17″ w. CONDITION: Near excellent; scratch to right side and some paint loss to top corner, otherwise an exceptional example. 1-11675 (2,000-4,000)
