Comments/description: Very attractive and scarce Prohibition era TOC with a pretty young lady and a giant bottle of Pabst beverage on the table beside her. No reference to Beer, Ale, Brew, or Beverage on the container label or on the sign, just that the tonic is thirst-quenching. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Surface is excellent overall with loads of original sheen and just a few small areas of oxidation near 12- and 6-o-clock. No crazing and perfect color. There are several kinks and creases on both the beveled edges and surface that may not be evident in the photos. Displays very nicely.
