Collector's Notes
The "Cool Blue" character is one of the more visually distinctive figures in PBR's promotional history, and original sticker in this size and condition are not as common as the larger bar signs. The Mactac backing and P 645 production code are consistent with original Pabst promotional production materials. A solid addition to a breweriana collection, a bar display, or a vintage advertising display shelf.
