Brewer/Business Name: Queen City Brewing Co., Cumberland, Maryland
Manufacturer/Plant: See comments/description
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
Contents/Type: n/a
Dimensions: 24-1/2 w x 6 h x 3-1/2 d.
Comments/description: Attractive and high grade sign. Ad panel is plastic, the enclosure and frame are painted steel. NOTE: We believe the steel components have been repainted, with the manufactured sticker carefully masked or painted around to preserve as much originality as possible. However, no hanging chain is attached and there is no wear on the hanger loops. Some screw heads have been painted silver as they were not removed prior to painting. Displays beautifully, both lit and unlit. Scarce. Manufactured by Central Lighting Fixtures Co. of Philadelphia. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
