Budweiser Sign by The Hensley Co. Given to me by Dean Hensley for my Bar in 1983. This sign is 53"x23". The photo doesn't do it justice. It still shows as new!

I have over 60 different Signs and Clocks from The Hensley Co. in my collection. I've been collecting them since the 70's. Dean was a great guy, and a good friend. I think of him every day when I walk through my home.............he lives on through his Art!

Re: The Hensley Co.

I would like to thank Roderick for his advice on shipping this clock, and Dean Hensley for his talent in creating it. I'm so pleased that it got here in one piece. From Missouri to Palm Springs Ca. is a n shoot at best!
