Description from the seller
Original FORST “Spezialbier-Brauerei” luminous advertising sign, an authentic piece of mid-century collectibles tied to the world of breweries and European vintage advertising.

“Qui si spilla con cura la nostra Birra Speciale”.
The structure consists of a metal frame and a backlit acrylic/plastic panel. When turned on, it emits a warm, highly dramatic light, ideal for pubs, taverns, breweries, showrooms, or collections dedicated to vintage advertising.
