Here is a Scheidt’s Valley Forge Beer Glass Sign from the Adam Scheidt Brewing Company located in Norristown, PA. This Scheidt’s Valley Forge Beer Glass Sign is from the 1930s era and is in excellent condition considering how old it is.
This sign was made by the Gillco Glass Sign Company located in Philadelphia, PA. It is approximately 17″ wide and made of reverse painted glass mounted in a round metal backlit body. On the back of the sign, there is a fold-out wire easel for displaying it on a flat surface; it could also be hung on the wall by the chains on the top too. This style of Gillco sign is referred to as a “Saucer Sign” or “Saucer Light”.
There is another variation of this sign made by the Gillco Glass Sign Company for the Adam Scheidt Brewery. The other variation is very similar graphics and lettering; the difference being the text on the bottom reads “Direct From Keg” instead of “The Pilsener of America”. I am actively looking for the other sign variation to add to my collection, please contact me if you have one.
