Vintage Friday: Rare Gansett Sign On Ebay!

This is awesome and rare. One of the first we've seen pop up on eBay and other vintage shops. It's a large Narragansett beer sign with a cool deer hunting image on it from the 40's. The shield logo in the bottom right corner is what inspired our packaging today. This sign could be yours and is available on eBay. Click here to view more photos and make a bid in eBay now. Here's more about the piece from the seller:

I am born and raised in Rhode Island and when Narragansett Beer was brewed in Cranston, it was the only beer I drank. I actually had three Uncles who worked at the brewery, so Narragansett was a Family Beer. Over the years I have owned and sold many Narragansett Beer advertising. Rhodes Island is the source! In all these years I have never seen another example like the large 1930-40s Narragansett Barroom Sign I am listing tonight. The original wood frame measures 28 ¼" tall by 44" long and the 23 ½" by 38 ½" cardboard sign has always been attached to this frame. The scene depicts three hunters, who were about to have a beer, are startled by a 10 point Buck looking right at them. At first glance I thought this was a Winchester Sign, because of the box of shells in the lower left hand corner. It does have that look and may have been printed by the same company. You can see in the close-up photographs that this antique Beer Sign is in remarkable condition. It is so difficult to find cardboard signs in this condition. The colors are still strong and there is only one tiny rub to the lower right hand corner Narragansett Logo. ......
