1909 - This is a must have plate for all saloon collectors! This plate was made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Fred Krug Brewing Company. Kurg was a brewer and a native of Germany. He moved to the US in 1852 to pursue a career in the brewing industry. In 1859 Kurg started his own business and was producing 1 and half barrels a day. By 1880 the company was producing 25,000 barrels a year. The brewery was extremely successful, and one of the best equipped in U.S. Production did stop in during prohibition, but started up again in 1933. In 1936 the brewery was sold to the Falstaff Brewing Co. This plate has very little wear, and the colors have maintained very well. It measures 9.5” across. - Sanders Collection -62075
