Quench that thirst in vintage style with this fabulous Budweiser pilsner glass, fresh from around the 1950s.  With a round base and a flared, faceted stem, this pilsner is decorated with the white bow tie logo, with the red Anheuser-Busch Eagle "A" mark nesting above the Budweiser name in the tie frame, with King of Beer below.  Stands 8-1/2" high.

In excellent condition, with no nicks, chips, or cracks and no visible wear to the logo.

While this listing is for a single stem, please note that I have multiples available and am always happy to combine shipping.

Offering a pair of Kingan's Indiana Brand lard tin cans, one can in the 4 lb. size and the other originally holding 8 lbs. of lard. Both cans have the same plaid-type advertising design, with mustard yellow and red sections that are respectively decorated with deep, midnight blue and yellow lettering as follows: Kingan's Indiana Brand Net Weight 4 [8] pounds Guaranteed Pure Lard Kingan & Co., General Offices, Indianapolis, Ind. The backs are solid yellow.

Both tins are in generally good condition, with a peppering of wear to the lids, a couple of small dents to the lid of the large can, and a few rubs and scratches to the outer surface of both can sides.

I speculate these date to the 1940s. Doing a bit of research on Kingan & Co., it appears the company may have opened its doors in the early-1840s (although the underside of both cans are embossed "Estab 72", which, to me, seems to suggest an establishment date of 1872, a date that may relate more to the lard production). According to a March 1952 issue of Time magazine, "[i]n 1950, Indianapolis' 107-year-old Kingan & Co., Inc. was the seventh largest meat-packing firm in the U.S.", yet "Kingan went into the red the last two quarters of 1951." I have found no more recent publications on the company's success or struggles, so speculate it met its demise sometime in the early/mid 1950s.

A great pair of old advertising tins for the health-conscious collector!
