Brewer/Business Name: Tivoli Brewing. Detroit, Michigan (likely)
Manufacturer/Plant: Leyse
Date of manufacture: circa 1935
Dimensions: 14 w x 14 h tip-to-tip
Comments/description: Superb sign, in visual appeal , rarity, and condition. This diamond format is unusual for Leyse and to have the piece remain in such fine condition with the scalloped border is phenomenal. Color and aluminum surfaces are outstanding and free of oxidation. Very rare, possibly unique. We are aware of no other example. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

 

Condition

The only condition notes are a few small flakes off the black border and light surface scratching from under the first E of BEER to the right tip. This may not be evident in the photos. A gem!
