For sale is a promotional badge issued by the YOUNG'S RAM BREWERY, then based at Wandsworth in London.

The family-run Young's Brewery in Ram Street, Wandsworth has a long history of ale brewing going back to 1581. Young’s Ram Brewery was purchased by Charles Allen Young and Anthony Fothergill in 1831 and the street itself had become synonymous with the brewery . The Young family ran the brewery and continued to expand the business until 2006, when the brewery was merged with Well’s Ales with production moved to a new and more accessible site. In October 2006 both companies formally merged and became known as the Wells & Young’s Brewing Company.

In 1905, Young’s Brewery adopted the image of a Dorset Horned Ram as their new trademark that continues in use to this day. The ram image seen on these badges was also widely used other promotional items and advertising.
