Painted zinc business sign with red and black typographic design on a gray background, bearing the inscription "Union de Brasseries" (Brewery Union). The simple and highly legible design, combined with the elegant industrial typography, clearly evokes the world of brewery suppliers in the early 20th century. The paint shows even wear and a beautiful matte patina, revealing the zinc in places. A centered mounting hole at the top indicates wall mounting, likely on a storefront, in a back room, or in a storage area related to the beverage trade.
