A powerful and impressive piece, appears never used. The Magnus Root Beer Co. was started by Joseph A Magnus. Prior to prohibition the family was in the spirits business.

Eventually the business name was changed to the Magnus Fruit Products Co of San Franciso California. The reverse side bottom left seam edge has The American Art Works, Coshocton, Ohio as sign maker. Sign shows excellent color & gloss, with a super clean frothy mug stein graphic. Some paint scuffing along edges, slight oxidation noted on rear, slight scratches noted. Measures 8.75"W x 19.25"L
