    The sign was bought in Houston, TX in 1974.
    It probably came from UK.

      My parents have an identical sign which they got hold of some time in the 80s. It is from England - Hammonds was a brewery in West Yorkshire. How yours ended up in Texas is a mystery, however!

      It is amazing what you can find in these TX antique shops. I saw a Mig17 next to an authentic British phone booth in the middle of nowhere in South TX.
      Anyway, thank you for the info.

      I actually have the same sign. I got mine at an auction in Jefferson WI about 8 years ago. It was from a well known beer distributor in Milwaukee one of the best finds. I bought it for $10.00. Honestly. When I did research on it there is another one in a bar in Colorado, but thats the only other one besides yours that I have seen. And all in the U.S.

      I also have one in Oak Ridge TN. I bought it 35 years ago at Charles and Charles Wholesale Antiques in West Los Angeles. They had about twenty of them. I picked the best one I could find. I believe they were about twenty dollars.

      It is indeed from West Yorkshire, UK. My father worked at their Lockwwod Brewery (see link https://www.yorkshirenostalgia.co.uk/general-items/brewing-in-yorkshire-2/hammonds-brewery-bradford/ ) from the early 1950s until the mid 1970s. Although brewing ceased in 1962, you could still smell the hops and yeast well after he retired. Just a shame I was too young to sample their wares!
      I hope some of you still have your signs, I can still remember seeing them locally as a child.

      I am sitting in Triple Rock Brewery in Berkeley, California, where there is a maroon Hammonds Ales on the wall. I would be happy to post a photo but I don't know how. Cheers
