I bought it in the mid-1970s in Georgetown, Wash. D.C., for more than I could afford at the time. It became a centerpiece wherever I lived, with guests were always drawn to it. It's like an old photograph come to life in three dimensions. Among the items strewn in front of the bar are discarded cans of Olympia beer, Maxwell House coffee, & Campbells soup, as well as a pack of Kools, all perfectly labeled. I hate to part with it, but we're about to move into a small apartment in a senior community, so it's time to pass it on. Garman's signature is in the "cement" beside the trash can. It measures 28" high, a little over 19" wide, & 10" front to back. See less

Lighting at top & bare bulb above bar door still work. I don't see imperfections, but this form wouldn't allow me to proceed without checking one of the boxes. less
