Hampden IN BOTTLE ON ICE 1930s Tin-Over-Cardboard Sign SCARCE - Brewer/Business Name: Hampden Brewing Co., Willimansett, Massachusetts Manufacturer/Plant: Universal Tray and Sign Co., New York, NY Date of manufacture: circa 1930s Contents/Type: N/A Dimensions: 9 w x 11 h. Comments/description: Scarce sign, especially in this fine condition. Red is super bold and unfaded. The Handsome Waiter is much more stylized than he appears in most advertising, where he is usually depicted in the full detail of the original painting, such as on the Hampden 13-inch trays. Here, he is reduced to just 3 colors with no detail in the black jacket or flesh tones in the face. The bottle has added color, however, and jumps out even more than the waiter himself. Gold lettering is recessed. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email . Condition: Excellent condition, just some minor wear marks visible in the gradated black edging of the background oval. No edge kinks or bends. 4 small dings above the bottle do not show well in the photos.
