Awesome 1916 Pre-Prohibition ANHEUSER BUSCH GINGER ALE POCKET MIRROR. Advertising piece incorporating the well known AB eagle logo to try and promote sales of Ginger Ale, which was one of the products AB used to stay in business during prohibition. AB was proactive and introduced a number of non-alcoholic products prior to and in anticipation of prohibition. Mirror measures 1.75" x 2.75" Beautiful logo side presentation. Unfortunately, there is some loss to the silvering on the mirror side which distorts the image. Still a nice example of a TOUGH AB pre-prohibition advertising piece. Please see photos for more details and to evaluate condition for yourself
A fantastic example of the Anheuser-Busch companies attempt to stay in business during Prohibition when they manufactured this Ginger Ale Soda with this beautiful pocket mirror. The mirror incorporates the well known AB Eagle logo which was intended to boost the image of the "new" ginger ale product. Anheuser Busch was intuitive and came out with the Ginger Ale, Grape Bouquet and the Malt Nutrine brands before prohibition went into effect. This allowed the company to keep their machinery and plants productive and running smoothly during the 14 years of prohibition. This also helped the company have a jump start on many other breweries after prohibition was ended and it helped them quickly take a top spot in the brewing industry in the United States.
