A grinning woman wearing western style clothing, leaning against a small table. She has a glass in her left hand and a bottle of Falstaff in the other, attempting to pour it. In 1896 Lemp introduced the popular Falstaff bottled beer logo. The official story is that the design for the shield was derived from an artist's paint pallet. The last Falstaff brewery closed in 1990. Lemp logo is on the reverse, unused, divided, with no border. Good condition.
