Vintage Fryco Aerated Water & Beverages Enamel Sign (SOLD)

A Fryco Aerated Waters & Beverages rectangular enamel sign, made from steel, with original enamel paint, does show signs of age giving this piece plenty of caricature. C1910

In 1874 the firm was established at Brighton to manufacture mineral waters.

For a short while Fry & Co. produced their mineral waters at Preston Circus inside the magnificent building complete with dome and clock faces that had once housed the Amber Ale Brewery. On 13 February 1901 the firm purchased the Gaiety Theatre in Park Crescent Place for £6,000 and constructed a concrete floor inside the old building.

Their High-Class Soda Water was mentioned that was ‘crisp on the Palate, Sparkling in the Glass’. Then there was their Dry Ginger Ale (choice or aromatic) and their Ginger Ale was sweetened with honey.

All their products were ‘manufactured under the control of a fully qualified analytical chemist under perfect hygienic conditions’.

A great piece for any collector of enamel signs or just as a display piece in the home.
