These appealing items are from around the mid 50s to early 60s. The facsimile gaslight plugging Bud is really nice. It has a glass globe with ACL type graphics, and the brass look alike base is all metal.
The Pabst bank is a catchy, well designed metal advertising piece.
The Pabst clock is another great item. I had to replace its electric clock with a quartz clock, which also necessitated replacing the original hands with a closely matched set. It still looks pretty good, though, and is basically authentic.
My final item of this presentation is a metal ruler promoting the products of the William Simon Brewing Company of Buffalo, NY. Sadly, this Brewery is no longer in business.
