Hires Barrel Sign

c. early 1900's, 9 ³/₄". I bought this in the early 1990's at an antique mall in southern California. The sign is curved to fit onto the side of a barrel of Hires root beer syrup. The only downside to that is that placement is more limited than it is for flat signs. It worked out well in the end, though; I keep this on the front part of a shelf to hide a bunch of stereo wires and coaxial cables further back on the shelf. For that it's nearly perfect.
