all i know about this sign is that i believe it is from sometime after 1939 because it has stripes on the shield and to my knowledge they used stars on the shield prior to 1939... i know nothing about this light and have been doing lots of research on it..any help as to history and value would be greatly appreciated
thanks , lisa

Hi-great Michelob sign-please email me at gemch63687@aol.com if you want to part with it. Thanks-Gregg.
WoW what a rare find never seen Michelob logo with the ruby circle around it
I'm in love with this sign .. But I just wish I had some history on it :)
I think its 1949. I had the same sign n.o.s. with the date on the crate.
The one I had was for sale on ebay.
Yeah I was the one who called you lol .. Did u end up selling yours yet ?
I believe it's from 1952 - the date code on the transformer is usually the last 3 digits and it looks like that transformer is still the original one. Nice sign. They made a large and small version of those.
