This original 1950's era vintage A&W neon sign is just one of hundreds of collectible soda shop memorabilia currently for sale from ArtFactory.com. This large, single sided, porcelain enamel sign measures 30 inches in diameter, and is on a 5 inch deep metal can. The round sign features an arrow pointing in the direction of nearest "Ice Cold A&W Root Beer". This is a 3 color sign that features a primarily orange background with a white bullseye in the center, and black lettering. The arrow and lettering light up in blue neon, and the edges of the sign and a bullseye in the center that the arrow goes though light up in orange neon. It is an authentic advertisement that was originally displayed at service stations in the early twentieth century, and was made in the U.S.A.

A&W Vintage Neon Root Beer SignA&W Root Beer Historical Information

A&W Root Beer is an American brand of root beer that was founded in 1919 by Roy W. Allen and primarily available in the United States and Canada. Allen partnered with Frank Wright in 1922, creating the A&W brand and inspiring a chain of A&W Restaurants founded that year. Originally, A&W Root Beer sold for five cents (equivalent to $0.75 in 2020).

Roy W. Allen opened a roadside root beer stand in Lodi, California in 1919, using a formula that he had purchased from a pharmacist. He soon opened stands in Stockton, as well as five stands in nearby Sacramento - where "tray boys" pioneered drive-in curbside service. In 1920 Allen partnered with Frank Wright, birthing the A&W brand name. Allen bought Wright out in 1924, obtained a trademark, and began selling restaurant franchises - creating one of the first restaurant chains in the United States. Franchise owners could use the A&W name and logo and purchased concentrated root beer syrup from Allen. By 1933 there were more than 170 A&W franchises.
