The banner has a Revolutionary war Colonial theme with a 1700's patriot in his Paul Revere hat raising a frothy glass tankard of beer. Text reads: "Knickerbocker, The Beer Drinker's Beer." The banner measures 20 x 11.5 inches, has a bright yellow cord and fringe. It has the original wooden dowel and endpin assembly. Condition is really nice with some mild discoloration, and tiny pinholes, overall very clean, vibrant and beautfiful. A great piece of brewery history, breweriana. We only have this one.
