I happened upon this mini-mystery while perusing photographs on flickr.

"Budweiser Eagle Animated Sign Spectacular Day View - Los Angeles Circa early 1950s"


Heather David at flickr

"Believed to have been installed in a stadium in the Los Angeles area - prior to the opening of the Anheuser-Busch plant in Van Nuys in 1954."

Hmmm....Dodger Stadium didn't open until 1962. Where do you think this (harshly cropped) pic. was taken?
(as most of you noirisher know, the large feather is a symbol of the Los Angeles Community Chest)


Heather also included this to show the animated sequence of the sign.
