Friday’s ad is for “Hamm’s,” from the late 1800s, I believe. This ad was made for Hamm’s Brewing, which was founded in 1865 by Theodore Hamm in St. Paul, Minnesota. At its peak, it was the 5th largest brewery in America, and operated facilities in five cities, including San Francisco, L.A., Baltimore and Houston, in addition to the original brewery in Minnesota. This one was most likely a promotional poster and features an eagle perching on a series of Hamm’s beer bottles.
