Rare Vintage Schlitz Beer TAP into '72 Wood and Metal Barrel Desk/Bar Caddy 6"

Description

Rare Vintage Schlitz Beer TAP into '72 Wood and Metal Barrel Desk/Bar Caddy 6"
This listing is for an incredibly rare
vintage Schlitz Brewery salesman's promotional Desk or Bar Caddy with Tap into '72 debossed into it. The barrel stands roughly 6" tall. It is made of wood with metal bands and a plastic liner in it.
The barrel is in incredible shape for being nearly 50 years old. It shows some very light typical wear from handling over the years as to be expected from a piece of this vintage. This was acquired from the estate of an individual that was a high level executive for Schlitz. It was part of his private collection that he acquired in his career with Schlitz and had it stored away for decades after he had it on his desk for a few years. You will see a lot of these barrels that were made by Schlitz into promotional mugs and banks that say Schlitz on them. I have never seen one of these with Tap into '72 on it, nor have I ever seen another like this one that was made to be a caddy. The individual stated that he thought this was the only one made as a sample and he thought that they were never produced. Please see photos for details. The barrel is in as found condition. I have not even wiped it off since acquiring it.  It is an impressive display piece. Incredibly SCARCE PIECE. LOOKS GREAT ON DISPLAY. You collectors will know when you see the pictures. Check out the pictures and judge the condition for yourself. This will make a great addition to any collection. If you have any questions please ask. Make sure you don't miss out on this fantastic piece and BID NOW! I have made sure to give you collectors BIG photos of this wonderful piece so you can see its condition. WHEN WILL YOU EVER FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE PIECE ? Be the envy of all your friends with awesome sign. A must for any Beer Sign, Bar sign, Schlitz Brewery sign, or  Breweriana Advertising Collector!
