Blast from the past 1961 Kingsbury advertisement to T-shirt

About 2 weeks ago I had a very friendly customer come inquiring about a kingsbury logo. It was described as a lion playing piano and looking over his shoulder. I have seen many kingsbury logos, but I never recalled seeing one of this nature. I have a sharp photographic memory and didn't recall such a logo. The customer purchased other vintage beer items that I carry, and i told him I would be on the look out for such a logo. This past weekend low and behold the same customer came back in with a napkin of the very logo he was looking for.




This was one side of the napkin







This was the back side of the napkin, On the inside it was printed 1961. This napkin is 14 years older than me. The customer wanted t shirts with these images on. So I worked my graphic magic and artistic talent and poof!





Needless to say the customer was very happy. The word traveled fast. I had someone from Green Bay Contact me and purchased one from our website. I have some hanging in the window of my store and I have had more people come and comment about images as well as purchase them. It been quite the conversation starter.
