c. 1930s-1940s; Abbott Laboratories - Chicago, IL
Reverse-painted on glass (ROG) advertising sign for Abbott Pharmaceuticals, featuring a bold black field with cream cartouche and red pinstriped border. The central text reads "Prescriptions Compounded exactly as your doctor orders," anchored by the Abbott script logo and "Pharmaceuticals and Biologicals" beneath. The typography is crisp and formal, paired with delicate scrollwork flourishes that lend a refined apothecary aesthetic. Retains original hanging hooks at the top and a black-painted backing panel with manufacturer's tag from The Photoplating Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota, visible on the reverse.
