Here is a Griesedieck Beer Lighted Sign from the Griesedieck Brothers Brewery located in St. Louis, MO. This Griesedieck Beer Lighted Sign is from the 1940’s era and is in excellent condition for it’s age. The graphics on this Griesedieck Beer Light is of a Griesedieck Bros Light Lager Beer Bottle which 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 Griese Beer.
This bullet light sign was manufactured 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 as a shield light and was made of a curved piece of reverse-painted glass mounted on a brass metal base, with a metal shroud and was back lit. One thing to note about this sign, bullet lights are usually mounted on a wooden base; this is the first time I’ve come across one mounted on a brass metal base which could mean that this one might be some kind of early salesmen sample or first run production piece.
