The three Royal Stag glasses must therefore be pre-quake, whereas the one at left is post, as is the half-pint flask below.  The flask is complete with label and screw top: imagine a window display full of these side by side in pre-pro San Francisco!

The scroll-edged metal sign shown below dates to the same time period. This wonderful advertising piece for Royal Stag and A.B.C. Bourbon (Ahrens-Bullwinkel Co.'s two main brands) features a stock elk that appears on many beer and liquor signs and trays from the pre-pro period, including a relatively common Geo. Stagg Co. O.F.C. Bourbon tray.
