Goose Island Beer Co. Framed Mirror Sign

This item is a Goose Island Beer Co. branded mirror sign, likely used as promotional barware or decorative signage. The primary feature is a circular black logo with white text 'GOOSE ISLAND BEER CO.' encircling a stylized goose head silhouette in a metallic or light gold finish. This logo is applied directly to the surface of a rectangular mirror, creating a reflective background around the central brand imagery. The mirror is housed within a substantial wooden frame, which exhibits a segmented, patchwork design. The frame appears to be constructed from various wood pieces, possibly reclaimed or mixed woods, showcasing different natural wood tones ranging from dark browns to lighter, almost golden, yellows. These segments are arranged in a horizontal and vertical pattern around the mirror's perimeter. The corners of the frame are reinforced with what appear to be dark metal brackets or corner protectors, suggesting a rustic or industrial aesthetic. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, cracks in the mirror, or major wear to the frame visible in the given image. The reflective surface of the mirror is clear, although it does show reflections of the person taking the photo, which is expected for a mirror. This type of item is typically produced in the contemporary era, likely late 20th or early 21st century, coinciding with the popularization of craft breweries and their merchandising. The quality suggests a commercially produced item, designed to be durable for use in hospitality environments.
