He even included the original shipping box it came in with the lithography company's mailing address. So I wonder if these were actually displayed in bars as advertising pieces as most of us have thought, or was it more of a collectible available for purchase by anyone. Or both? Pictures below.

Rick-
That’s undoubtedly the finest example Ive ever seen. Amazing that it survived so incredibly well. We just released a video on vintage Ad Signs. But it was taped before the info you provided on possibly being a mail-order item.
Regardless, I’ll post the link to our video in just a minute. Thanks!
