Was able to land this phenominal piece from San Francisco. I have been told (thanks JOHN) that the bottlers of this beer were located on Lombard St. between 1914 and 1919. This sign obviously from an Italian family who migrated to the city in the 1870's. You can see how World War I is prominent in the artwork of this sign. I collect SF beer advertising but mostly 1930's and 1940's stuff. This sign came to me and I couldn't pass it up. Please email your posts If you have anything to add...This sign was found at an estate sale of a former doctor in San Diego a couple of months ago.
