Here is a Esslinger Premium Beer Spinner Sign from the Esslinger Brewing Company located in Philadelphia, PA. This Esslinger Premium Beer Spinner Sign is from the 1950s era and is in excellent condition for its age. This sign features the brewery’s mascot “little man” also known as “king pin”.
Spinner signs like this one was made by the Ohio Advertising Display Company located in Cincinnati, OH. These signs are also known as “Illuminated-Color-In-Motion” signs. Spinner signs like this one would have been displayed in a bar or tavern to advertising Esslinger Beer and catch the attention of patrons with the light and movement. They would be mounted either by a chain hanger on the wall or displayed as a bar back sign with a metal easel.
