Schlitz Beer Composite 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”
