A classic beer advertising graphic with the Austrian-style man holding a pipe and hoisting a mug of beer with the regionalized slogan of “Cincinatti Beer – a finer Beer”.  The reverse painted lens has fired on enamel paint in excellent condition, with no lifting or scratches.  The convex glass panel has a small scratch on the outside to the left of the pipe.  Lens is held onto the metal “saucer” housing with a chrome retaining ring, which has wear. The rear of the housing has crinkled brown paint in very good condition and there is a metal easel stand.  Overall, the sign is in very good condition with outstanding graphics that just look fantastic when lit up.
