This is an incredibly rare original Pre-Prohibition Rainier Beer Seattle Malting and Brewing Company circa 1913 tin litho tray sign advertisement. The piece shows a Victorian woman leaning against a vicious large bear with open growling mouth. The sign is stamped metal with a painted raised area and rolled corners. The piece shows the same graphics in the center as the Rainer Beer Serving Tray marked the same and also dated 1913 (the tray was sold at the Showtime Auction Services 10/4/2014 sale for $780 with premiums). The sign is marked on the bottom left, “(Copyright) 1913 BY THE SEATTLE MATLING AND BREWING COMPANY IZ48”. No other example of the Rainier / Seattle Malting and Brewing Company Victorian Lady with Bear image on a rolled edge sign has ever been brought to the public market. This is an authentic original Pre-Prohibition Pre-1920 piece. The measurements of this picture are 14 1/2" x 14 1/2".
