Brewery: Anheuser-Busch. St. Louis, MissouriManufacturer/Plant: unmarkedDate of manufacture: circa mid-1930sContents/Type: 30" x 24" Paper or cardboard signCondition/Comments: This large sign is wonderfully illustrated in a style reminiscent of Norman Rockwell, though the illustrator is unknown. The date on the crate the stock boy is carrying is 1935 so this is likely dated to just after Repeal. There’s no hint that anything was ever written on or attached to the black sign in the center but, presumably, a price or phone number would have been written or posted there so customers could place their order for home delivery. We have not removed the piece from the frame so can’t determine whether it’s printed on heavy card stock or paper. It shows a moisture stain in the lower left, edge wear, and scattered small blemishes, but is overall in very good condition and eye appeal remains very high.
