Brewer/Business Name: Commercial Brewing Co., Boston, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Unknown
Date of manufacture: Prohibition
Contents/Type: n/a
Dimensions: 12-1/2 w x 15-1/5 h framed.
Comments/description: Very cool design on this sign, which is executed as what looks like a screen print. Heavily inked with crude edges and a very graphic, linear style. Because the paper is toned, the detail in the blue sky and the yellow are difficult to see in some places, though the image can be described as a seaside or beach scene, with a view from the porch of an automobile driving along the waterfront or on the beach itself. Seabirds glide overhead and clouds or dust surround the car. The car appears to be a stylized late-1920s to very early-1930s open-top roadster, most likely inspired by a Ford Model A Roadster (1928ñ1931) or a similar mass-market American car of that era. One of two similarly styled signs from this brewery we are offering. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
