Comments/description: Early paper laminate sign illustrated with a Pabst OI can and steinie bottle! This earlier style of sign has a lithoed veneer facade rather than the metal of later issues. Quite clean overall with nice silver on the logo and can. Manufactured by Kirby Cooksmall-Steinau. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Some edge and corner wear if evident and there are nail holes in the front at each end. Both feet are missing. Noticeable fade to the red of the bottle, in both the Pabst logos and the brown of the bottle itself which now appears green.
