c. 1950s; Barrett Hamilton Distillery - Meadowlawn, KY
Large, freestanding, double-sided bottle-shaped display produced for Copper Goose Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Cut from thick board and printed in bold, high-contrast color, the sign features the iconic flying goose graphic over a richly stylized amber bottle illustration, with strong red and green typography reading COPPER GOOSE and KENTUCKY BOURBON. Designed to be viewed from both sides, this example was likely intended for floor placement near liquor store counters, endcaps, or distributor showrooms, where its height and silhouette would draw attention from across the room. The graphic language-clean outlines, saturated color fields, and exaggerated bottle form-is firmly rooted in postwar American spirits advertising.
Copper Goose was bottled by Barrett Hamilton Distillery of Meadowlawn, Kentucky, a mid-century bourbon producer that leaned heavily on bold animal imagery and approachable branding to compete in a crowded whiskey market. Displays like this were produced in limited numbers and were often discarded once branding or distribution changed, making surviving examples uncommon-especially in large, double-sided formats.
