c. 1930s-1940s; Majestic Creations, Inc. for Four Roses Distillers Company - New York City, NY
Illuminated countertop advertising display produced for Four Roses Distillers Company, featuring the slogan "The Good Life includes Four Roses" alongside a bouquet of four molded red roses housed within a clear acrylic halo accented by starburst motifs.

The lower brass trim is stamped "Four Roses Distillers Company, N.Y.C. Blended Whiskey 86 Proof 60% Grain Neutral Spirits." Included are the original instruction sheet, spare screw-in bulb, and the original red-and-black houndstooth-pattern sample carrying case stenciled "SAMPLE."
Majestic Creations, Inc. specialized in illuminated point-of-sale advertising displays during the mid-20th century, producing eye-catching electric promotional signs for liquor, tobacco, and consumer brands distributed to retailers throughout the United States.

The original pass-through plug has been tested and functions properly. The folding metal easel fits somewhat loosely in its mounting slot but remains functional for tabletop display. The sign may also be wall mounted using the integrated keyhole slots. Molded roses exhibit scattered dark speckling, minor staining, and light edge wear to the petals. The plastic sign body shows light surface wear consistent with age. Metal corner protectors, trim, and case latches display age-related oxidation and discoloration. The original sample case shows light edge wear and remains in overall good condition. Instruction sheet exhibits expected creasing, foxing, and age toning. less
