Vintage Beefeater Gin Bottle Display, bar Hand painted advertising, Early Model

Description

A fantastic advertising display to keep guard over your Beefeater Gin. This is a substantial piece at over 17” tall and 8.5” wide with the bottle stand. These are earlier, harder to find examples made from wood and composite, then hand painted (later examples, and most of what is available online, are hollow plastic ).
The Beefeater, known more formally as Yeomen Warders, traditionally had the job of guarding the Tower of London and the crown jewels. They picked up the nickname over time and the gin we know and love eventually adopted it.
Sitting atop the wooden base with recess for a bottle. **This example has been repaired but now very solid. You can see the pic of the leg where it was damaged and carefully repaired. This is a very common occurrence, as these are too heavy and nailed in at the feet. The rest of the condition is excellent, including the spear, which almost always shows some loss.
I have two of these for sale at time of posting. See my other listings please.
