Huge Ghirardelli Chocolate Parrot Mascot Painted Wood Advertising Sign, 1930s
Located in San Francisco, CA
A very rare and full of character 1930s six-foot-tall Ghirardelli Chocolate hand-painted wood advertising sign featuring the company's early and iconic parrot mascot.
Fantastically vibrant and eye-catching outdoor billboard advertising products by the world famous 170-year-old San Francisco chocolatier, after which the city’s historic waterfront landmark Ghirardelli Square is named. Commanding and colorful graphic design distinguished by crisp, bold lettering and an incredibly charismatic parrot excitedly squawking the proper pronunciation: "Say Gear-Ar-Delly!" The parrot mascot was introduced in 1915 as part of a successful ad campaign that saw sales rise as customers felt more comfortable in asking for their chocolates and other products by name.
In the parrot’s shopping cart are three cans of Ghirardelli products—Nu-Malt, Ground Chocolate, and Milk Cocoa—each nicely showcasing early-to-mid-century American packaging design. Displays a wonderful sense of depth and economical attention to detail. Exactingly executed and varied typefaces handsomely embody exactly what makes vintage advertising signage so visually striking and sought after. Reminiscent of Guinness beer posters...
