Hamm's Beer sign, circa 1960

Hamm's Beer advertising sign. Sign is made in style of a patio window with slanting roof, chimney and rail fence. Window view is a scene of a tree-lined lake and night sky. A series of holes punched in the metal and backed with small varicolored lights allows a changing night sky. The word "Hamm's" appears and then is followed by blinking stars in colors of yellow, blue, pink and red. Finally, a graded row of 4 beer glasses lights up. Circa 1960. From the collections of the Minnesota Historical Society, accession number 1978.79.115.
