Here is a PR 8 Ounce Neon Sign from the Old Reading Brewing Company located in Reading, PA. PR 8 beer was the Old Reading Brewing Company’s flagship beer; PR 8 is also known as Pale Reserve in 8 ounce bottles. I believe this neon sign is from the 1950’s to 1960’s. Neon signs like this one would have been displayed on the walls or in the windows of taverns and distributors to promote Pale Reserve Beer.
When I got this PR 8 Ounce Neon Sign it was broken at the bend of the “P”. I had it fixed and restored back to it’s former glory by my local neon restoration guy who’s grandfather coincidentally was the neon artist contracted by the Old Reading Brewery and Sunshine Brewery at that time. There’s a good chance that his grandfather made this sign for the Old Reading Brewery to begin with.
