From my limited research, the California Brewing Company of San Francisco was in operation from 1954 to 1958. The company produced Gold Label Beer and heavily featured western themes including a horse drawn Conestoga Wagon and other cowboy related imagery. This paperweight features a bear and has a really nice blue printing. I haven’t been able to find anything quite like it online. It measures about 3 inches in diameter and about 1.5 inches tall. The glass is in good shape with no meaningful chipping or scratches. The printing on bottom demonstrates some wear and tear.
