Bright and colorful trio of "scoreboard" advertising signs each promoting a different brand of beer. It should be noted that these signs are not cardboard advertising signs as one often encounters in the hobby but tin lithographed advertising signs. Included in the collection are the following: 1) c. 1949 Fort Pitt Beer Double-Sided Scoreboard: Measuring 23 1/2" x 11 1/4" double-sided tin sign promoting Fort Pitt beer. One side provides room for football or basketball scores for four separate games (with four quarters' worth of scores each) the reverse provides room for two baseball games. The scoreboard presents well but is well worn with chipping and discoloration at the edges and wear at the mounting holes. Oxidation is visible on the baseball side as well as a pronounced chip at the top right corner where all the paint has been chipped away. Still quite attractive. 2) Koehler Beer Scoreboard: Bright and attractive baseball scoreboard sign featuring gold metallic coloration at the borders and within the scoreboard itself a cardboard backing and original black hanging string still intact. Staining and chipping is evident though neither detracts from the attractiveness of the piece itself. Measures 26 1/2" x 9" in total. 3) Franklin Lager Scoreboard: Likely dating to the 1930s extremely attractive multi-color tin scoreboard measuring approximately 27" x 13 1/2". Advertising Franklin Lager bottled and draught beer at the bottom the piece also advertises a sports news show with host Johnnie Neblett which aired on WBNS in Columbus Ohio which began broadcasting in 1934. The piece does exhibit wear to the edges a few additional hanging holes added at the corners and extra wear and tents at the top corners some of which have chipped away the paint. Despite this an exceptional piece one of the more attracttive we have handled. Three scoreboards total.
