Bar Statues

About Vintage Beer Bar Statues

After Prohibition, many breweries started taking advantage of the back bar (shelves behind the bar) for promotional figurines, and so-called back bar beer statues became a staple in bars until the 1960s. Originally made of chalk or ceramic, post-WW2 figures were more commonly plastic, ranging anywhere from a couple of inches to a foot high, and often depicting a mascot.
