LORENZ SCHMIDT'S ESTATE MOUNT CARBON BREWERY 1900

Sign In to see what this sold for

19 1/2" x 14 1/2", complete with metal strip top and bottom and original cloth hanging loop; features the same beautiful face seen extensively in 1901 Coca-Cola advertising; apparently her agent was double dipping. This is equally as stunning as the 1901 paper poster featured in the previous lot, and isn't it ironic that it also bears the Schmidt name! All the gold letters, as well as Pottsville Pennsylvania at the bottom, and the brewery crest are beautifully embossed on shiny enameled and lightly textured heavy paper; there is a very small bend and closed tear in the upper left border area; a faint stain just above the calendar page; 1 or 2 minor paper chips or nicks around calendar; and a few other minor edge marks. Otherwise, only very minor ripples or surface crimps; beautiful, bright, vibrant, unfaded color; condition 8.2 to 8.7 / EX
