Presented in this lot is a Rare Magnus Root Beer "It's fine in the stein" Single-sided Embossed Tin Sign with Root Beer Mug Stein Graphic, circa 1920s-1930s. 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. With prohibition they started making root beer rather then whiskey which lasted until the mid to late 1930's. 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
