Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
Contents/Type: N/A
Dimensions:
Comments/description: Fabulous design with loads of Art Deco cues. The base is especially handsome in that regard. The glass panel, while it looks somewhat compromised in the daylight photos, puts forth a remarkable display when lit. Note that the back of the panel has masking tape or adhesive residue that is not visible from the front if the sign is not backlit, and that the only missing imprint is some of the gold leaf in the etched outer border and on the E of BEER, and a few small scratches in the red. Great color combo and the deep gold etching adds texture and depth to the piece in both its lit and unlit states. The Ambrosia brewery seal and gently flowing barley accents are all intact. There is minor oxidation to the base as shown; it has not been cleaned or aletered in any way that we can see. Sharp. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
