This old shop sign was used to identify cooked sauerkraut in a butcher shop, grocery store, or delicatessen. Its graphic design, typical of the mid-20th century, combines elegant black typography with a red decoration inspired by traditional Alsatian signs. Hung by its original metal chain, it was an immediately visible sign for customers. Associated with the "Raw Sauerkraut" version, it evokes old food shops where preparations were distinguished by specific panels.
