Very rare, original, ca1907, large size, Pre-Prohibition, Tin Lithograph Advertising Sign / Charger for "Falstaff Beer" brewed by the William J. Lemp Brewing Co. of St. Louis, Missouri. This wonderful chromolithograph on Tin, "Charger" type Advertising Sign measures approx. 16" in diameter and features a wonderful image of a beautiful young maiden sipping some of Lemp's finest. The shields feature the “Lemp / St. Louis” trademark which is what differentiates this charger from the reproduction, which has 2 shields that read "Falstaff". The chromolithography on the Sign is of the highest quality. William J. Lemp Brewing Co. / Lemp Brewery was the original name of the brewing company that became the Falstaff Brewing Corporation. Founded in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, in 1838, the brewing company existed for many years as an independent label. During Prohibition the Falstaff Trademark was purchased by Griesedieck Beverage Co. and the name of the company was changed to the Falstaff Corporation. From this time forward the Lemp name did not appear on any form of Falstaff Advertising. This rare and beautiful, Pre-Prohibition Falstaff Beer Advertising Sign is in very good to excellent condition with the exception of the scratch along the maidens chest (about 2 inches long) and the small blemish near her ring finger (about 1/2" in diameter)
