Here is a Good Old Reading Beer Pinup Sign from the Old Reading Brewing Company located in Reading, PA. This Good Old Reading Beer Pinup Sign is from 1954 and is in fair condition for it’s age. The sign is made of a thick cardboard stock and is approximately 15″ X 20″.
The artwork on these pin-up signs were created by the famous and esteemed pin-up artist of the time named Alberto Vargas. The brewery made a few variations of these Old Reading Beer Vargas Pin-Up Signs with 3 different pin-up models on them. They also made cardboard bottle toppers with similar pin-up artwork on them for display in taverns and distributors.

Currently I’m having this cardboard sign sent out to the poster restoration studio that I use; it will be cleaned and restored to it’s former glory. I should get it back in a matter of months. Be sure to check back soon; once it’s complete I will post a photo of it. Can’t wait to get it back and up on the wall!
