Two vintage beer advertising signs. One sign is for Lemp Saint Louis Lager Beer and the other is for Stroh's Detroit Beer. Both signs have been altered and show significant wear, including paint loss, scratches, and rust, consistent with their age and use. The Stroh's sign is primarily yellow with black lettering and a red and gold crest. There is a flat coating of resin covering the front and back. We believe this was a porcelain sign, but has been altered. The Lemp sign has been painted with bondo.
