Comments/description: Cardboard sign features a list of pricing for most brands available in Connecticut in the early 1960s. Includes reference to self-opening cans. Interesting notes: Hulls Ale being listed as available in 12 oz flat top cans (likely was not as last Ale can is from the 1950s), Krueger Beer only available in 12 oz pull tabs while Ale was only available in flat tops, and Narragansett being listed only by brand – not brews – despite having Ale, Beer, Porter, and Bock pretty widely available at the time. Also interesting to see Schmidts was available in Connecticut at that time. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
