ABC Beer Bullet Light
Here is a ABC Beer Lighted Sign from the Aztec Brewing Company located in San Diego, CA. This ABC Beer Lighted Sign is from the 1940s era and is in excellent condition for it’s age. The graphics on this sign depict a ABC Supreme Beer Bottle with the typography reading "The Supreme Brew" and "Class in a Glass"; the sign is very eye catching when lit as well when it’s off. Signs like this one would have been displayed on the bar back to advertise to patrons about ABC Supreme Beer.
This sign was made by the Cincinnati Advertising Products Company located in Cincinnati, OH; and were also known as "Blue Ribbon Displays" under the Cincinnati Advertising Products Co. name. This style of sign was known as a "bullet light" also known a "shield light", and was usually made of a curved piece of reverse-painted glass mounted on a wooden base, with a metal shroud and was back lit.
NOTE: This rare bullet light however, is made of reverse-painted plastic mounted on a wooden base. It is guaranteed antique and original.

Canadian Pale Lager Sign
Here is a Canadian Pale Lager Sign from the Canadian Pale Products Association (previously the Graupner Brewing Company) located in Harrisburg, PA. This Canadian Pale Lager Sign is from between 1930 to 1932 and is in very good condition considering how old it is.
The sign is approximately 20″ by 14″ and is made of embossed metal. Canadian Pale Lager was a prohibition-era malted beverage similar to “near-beer” which had an alcohol percentage between 1/2% – 1% alcohol by volume. Signs like these would have been displayed in general stores or cafes to advertise these malted beverages during prohibition when alcohol was outlawed throughout the United States.
Columbia Brewing Glass Sign
Here is a Columbia Brewing Glass Sign from the Columbia Brewing Company located in Shenandoah, PA. This pre-prohibition era Columbia Brewing Glass Sign is from between 1894 and 1900 era and is unfortunately in very poor condition although still somewhat displayable.
This Columbia Brewing Glass Sign was made by the Tuchfarber Company located in Cincinnati, OH. The sign is approximately 30″ wide, is a glass lithograph, and is made or reverse-painted glass mounted in a wooden frame.
The graphics on this sign (although very hard to make out) is a patriotic scene of a woman holding an American flag and leaning on a stars and stripes shield, and there looks to be an American Blad Eagle crouched to the right of the shield. The lettering on this sign reads “Columbia Brewing Company” along the top and “Shenandoah, PA” across the bottom. There looks to be remnants of lettering on the left side of the sign, most likely a beer style, similar to the “Weiss Beer” lettering to the right. There is a maker mark on the bottom right corner that reads “Tuchfarber Company – Cinci, OH”
