Vintage Lighted Beer Sign. Works!

Pearl Beer was formulated and first brewed in Bremen, Germany, by the Kaiser-Beck Brewery, which produces Beck's beer. Pearl beer's name came from Kaiser-Beck Brewery's brewmaster, who thought the foamy bubbles in a freshly poured glass of the brew resembled sparkling pearls. In Germany, the brew was called "Perle", which is the German word for pearl. When brought to the United States, the spelling was changed to the English version: pearl.

In 1886, the first bottles and wooded kegs of American Pearl beer rolled off the line and into local tap rooms. At that time the company was called the San Antonio Brewing Company. In 1952 the San Antonio Brewing Association changed its name to the Pearl Brewing Company. In 1985, Pearl's parent company purchased the Pabst Brewing Company and assumed the Pabst name. In 1999, the Pabst Brewing Company began transferring its production to Miller Brewing, on a contract basis, and closing all of its breweries.
Pearl beer is still in production, contracted out to Miller's Ft. Worth, Texas facility, but the Pearl Brewery in San Antonio, noted in the inscription on this sign, was closed in 2001.

We believe the logo shown on this sign was used from 1936 to 1952. The design of the label on the back seems to date to that era.
The flourescent light and starter are new and should provide years of use. The yellow background is a little warped from years of operation and has pulled away from the front surface at the lower right of the sign. It looks like it's the original material, so we didn't mess with it. It could be fixed or left as-is, as it is barely visible, and not visible at all when the sign is lit.
