c.1890s. Very rare early piece! Silver background and black lettering. "Sacramento" and "Lager Beer" are raised letters. Floral borders (hops and barley). Established 1853. Measures 13.75" x 5." Excellent condition for its age: chips to paint and small areas of rust. What 19th-century business hung this sign to convince thirsty workers to go for a lager? The Sacramento Brewery was founded in 1853 by Philip Scheld, a man with experience in retail and liquor. Philip wanted to return to Europe, and needed a partner he could trust. He found that partner with John Ochswald. Scheld was also the director of the Sacramento Savings Bank. Burt Collection
