Reference: n/aBrewery: Jacob Ruppert Brewing Co., New York, NYManufacturer/Plant: UnmarkedDate of manufacture: Circa 1930sContents/Type: n/aCondition/Comments: 19-1/2”w x 11”h. The case on this sign would lead one to believe that it is in worse shape than it really is. While it certainly is far from pristine, it appears that something was applied to the case at one time and the residue became embedded in the textured finish, much like wax embeds into rust. The integrity of the case is actually quite solid though the finish has been altered. On the front, there are signs of loss and oxidation along the edges, but the glass is in very good condition. There is some lifting around the R in Ruppert. This sign would benefit greatly from a professional cleaning.Because there is exposed wire at the plug we were unable to plug this sign in to photograph it in its illuminated state.
