Beer SignsThere were once almost as many different types of beer signs as there were …
Here is a rare light.It does wor and is green.It looks so cool when lit.
Krueger Beer put the beer in a can first in 1935. I don't know how old the sign is or how rare it is. They do look good lite up.
Yes I do know. Thanks officialfuel .I do know its a rare sign I know story but Never seen a light like this?
The first Krueger cans had the K-man (or Mr. K,as he was later known) WITHOUT a hat.A smooth ball for a head.I'd say this sign is mid to late 40's in era.Without knowing if there is any paint loss on the glass,I'd think 4-500 easy for value.
I f you had it do you think you would sell yours for that? I woul not Knowing I have never seen on like it and knowing It was Ist beer in can and mine does have hat.Almost like a sambo with a serving tray Ha
Also was beer ale ist then beer
I don't own this sign,so I can't say if I'd sell it or not.I'm sure I can find other examples,if that would help? I have items I sell,and others that are firmly planted on my shelf that aren't for sale.Except when I die,my wife will be putting them in a garage sale with a "Your choice-$5.00 each" sign on em.I'm picking up 5-6 cans and various Krueger items in the next month or two that I will be selling.
