The sign was made by the National Enameling Company located in Cincinnati, OH. It’s approximately 18″ wide and made of porcelain enamel over steel. On the back of the sign there is a small remnant of the paper label for National Enameling Company.
The graphics on this sign depict a nude woman sitting on a Winged Wheel with the typography reading “Indianapolis Brewing Company Beer” and the tagline “The World’s Standard of Perfection”.

Presidential Rye Whiskey Clock
Here is a Presidential Rye Whiskey Clock from the E. De. Lue & Company Distillery located in Chicago, IL. This pre-prohibition era Rye Whiskey Clock is from between 1896 to 1918 and is in excellent condition considering how old it is. This clock is easily over 100 years old and is't amazing that it still operates and keeps accurate time too.
It's approximately 12" by 10" by 5" and is made of cast iron with a winding mechanical clock at the top. The cast text on the clock body reads "Presidential Pure Rye Malt" across the top and "The Best Medicinal Whiskey In America" across the bottom with the "E. De. Lue & Co. Chicago Sole Prop's" across the base. A Cast Iron Clock like this would have originally been displayed on a back bar display or general store countertop to advertise Presidential Medicinal Whiskey to patrons.
