    Going through some archives of a friend's business, I am discovering a lot of "camera ready" artwork. This one is about 12" across. Anyone know the possible date this company was producing this brand of anti-freeze?

      Pretty interesting history..I believe this would've been in the 1940s? More research needed..

      The archives I am going through belong to a company called Brady Instruments and they make all kinds of hydrometers. The family's original company was named Francis L. Freas Glass Works, started in 1905 in Conshohocken, PA.

      "After the war ends, H. Corby Distillery is sold to the Canadian Industrial Alcohol Company Limited. This new organization purchases the assets of JP Wiser’s Distillery Limited of Prescott, Ontario, and moves its operations to Corbyville, Ontario."

      The symbols on the sign seem to be old hazmat symbols and may date it. Can't find anything that the company was around in 1965, so not sure what that left symbol is?
