Business Name: Cumberland Brewing Co., Cumberland, Maryland
Manufacturer/Plant: See comments/description
Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
Condition/Comments: Sign is dated by the manufacturer, A-M Sign Co., 5-49. Condition is very unusual in that the colors are as bright as new and the clean areas of the face shine like new with incredible original gloss and apparently a heavy application of paint. Conversely, there are areas that are spidered and even quite heavily bubbled with oxidation, and the top left corner is almost rusted away. Very unusual how such polar extremes can exist on the same piece. 22 w x 14-1/2 h. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
