Imagine that the last beer barrel has been loaded from the shipping docks at Fredericksburg Brewery on Cinnabar Street in San Jose. The driver cracks a whip, the horses move, and the beer wagon slowly rolls down Cinnabar, its bright yellow canvas sides with block lettering catching the eyes of thirsty men on their way home from work. The practical, wagon side, advertising works: tonight, they'll drink Fredericksburg.



Super rare. Only two sets of these are known by Tom: one for Wieland and this one for Fredericksburg. Tom verified that these were beer wagon sides when he found an early photograph showing wagons with identical signs. Each side measures 60" x 22.5." Black lettering and yellow background: "Fredericksburg/ Extra Pale Lager & Private Stock."



Condition: Small rips, rust, soiling, and a bent side. One of the sides is in much better condition than the other. These were used! Burt Collection
