c. 1930s/1940s; Iroquois Brewing Company - Buffalo, NY
Painted advertising sign featuring bold "Three Aces" header with playing card motifs above the flowing Iroquois script logo, followed by "Indian Head Beer," "Ale," and "Porter" in stacked lettering. The red field is heavily worn, with the original typography and imagery softened by age, revealing layers of patina and surface distress that speak to long-term display use. Decorative suit symbols-heart, spade, and diamond-anchor the lower half, reinforcing the gaming motif hinted at in the title. The overall composition balances commercial boldness with hand-applied character, giving it a gritty, time-earned presence.
Iroquois Brewing Company of Buffalo, New York, was a prominent regional brewery established in the late 19th century, known for its wide distribution and survival through Prohibition-era transitions before closing in the 1970s.
