Its hard to find signs like this that haven't had the rolled corners flattened by a heavy item being set on them in their 100 yr. lifespan.There was a brewery in Stillwater built into the caves as you come in to town from the MN side. This sign was manufactured in Coshocton, Oh. and the stock image in the center is called "A good judge" (thats the cherry cheeked guy with the beer)
my parents have the same sign and were wondering what type of value it could bring? There sign in in very good shape and being from the Stillwater area when I brought it into some of the antique stores many of the merchants really lit up and wanted to buy the sign, but I wouldn't at this time. It's appears to be a fairly rare piece.

Its a stock sign,meaning that other breweries used this image in the center,so its not unique to Wolf's.If it were,it would be more valuable.If your sign is in better shape than mine,I'd be interested in it.I paid 400 for mine about 8 years ago,and a better sign would be worth more.You can get ahold of me at 952__846__8481 if you want
Chris,
I am from Stillwater - my great-grandfather worked at Wolf's Brewery. If you still have the sign and are willing to sell, let me know at: 651-208-5734. Thanks.
Brent & Barry,
I can check with my parents to see if they would be interested in parting with their sign. There sign has very little pitting, no bends and the rolled corners are still in great condition (never flattened).
Chris-If its better than mine,I'd be thrilled to own it.I'll contact Brent with my sign...we'll both be happy campers.
