Brewer/Business Name: Fort Pitt Brewing Co., Smithton, Pennsylvania
Manufacturer/Plant: Permanent Sign and Display Co. Reading, PA
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
Contents/Type: N/A
Dimensions: Board is 17-3/4 w x 15 h, sign is 9 w x 7 h.
Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to NABA. Unique opportunity to acquire an actual production piece and the camera-ready production line art that was used to create it. The sign is very clean and free of oxidation, with just a few signs of wear. The gold metallic is brilliant. There is just one small kink on the bevel edge at 10-o-clock. The borders, road bumps, and lettering are hand-inked on the board itself, while the artwork of the horse and buggy and brewery name are photostat prints that have been adhered to the board. Complete with registration, crop marks, dimensions, and a couple of production notations. Note that the dimensions on the board include the portion of the sign that wraps behind and hold the cardboard backing; they are not the finished dimensions. Excellent condition with some tape marks. Could be used for production today. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
