Description
Two turned rods, coloured. Left: red, blue, white; right: red, white, green. Beer cones were displayed on the houses of Guben citizens who were licensed to brew and serve beer to indicate that beer was for sale.
Provenance
Formerly the Guben City Museum. Parts of the collection were apparently evacuated to Kossar (today: Kosierz) in 1942/43. The part of the collection that remained in Guben is said to have been looted between 1945 and 1948 and has been considered lost ever since.
