I am not sure how far back it dates but the Pittsburg brewing company where it was made has no idea. I have not seen another one like it. It is made of plaster and has some weight to it. I would appreciate any info possible. It is definitly unique.
I believe this was manufactured in the early 1950s by M.J. Golden & Co. Inc.
Thank You ghost 1227. It makes sense. Everything that was given to me was bought when I was born 1952
Actually made in 1953. Can be seen in the book Back Bar Beer Breweriana by Baley as Item 545 on page 131
noted and appreciated thanks George
I'm not sure much about it but we have one just like it!
anyone know the value? just bought one of these at auction.
The company was bought out of bankruptcy and has a new owner but the same name. I think Latrobe or something similar owns it now. I would contact their public relations with a picture and inquire about your item. Most places are willing to help or point you in the right direction.
Iron City beer was really bad. Tasted like carbonated water with rotten eggs thrown in for flavor. But then I was just home from six years in Europe so no beer tasted right.
