Here's a Hires Root Beer sign I've had a long time. I always thought it was about 1910, but someone told me it was from the 1890's. You can read the whole yarn about how I came into it here This sign is on the front cover of a book on root beer collectibles

Now that's what ya call a Honus Wagner sign...get that puppy fixed...never seen it before, it's exceptional...what's the details?? the who what where on it? What's the dimensions? looks like about 14" wide x 22" tall (or used to be)...the images of Wagner are so clear...and the graphic layout is quite unique...a Honus Wagner celebration.

Carlton- Check out my post on the b/s/t. Memorabilia section, 6-24-09.
I've seen 2 of these signs in 30 years. Looking pretty hard the last 15.

I'm not a repro guy but that's one good looking repro.

Just to clarify.. The repro Carlton is referring to is on the b/s/t. Not the above piece.

These banners were displayed in 1964 outside Union 76 gas stations in Los Angeles, promoting 8"x10" pictures of various Dodger players given away at the stations with a minumum puchase. It measures a whopping 3 1/2' x 7', and is made out of linen. Never seen another one survive, and being a picture of Sandy Koufax makes it even more unique.

Hi Rick,

I'm glad you posted that banner. I have one the same size for Cleveland Indians Volpe cups from the same era. When I get home later I'll try to snap a photo and post it. Nice to see that another one of these -- albeit not advertising the same giveaway -- survived.
