Remarks: "Budweiser Lager Beer. Circa: Late 1947. This American Can Company, 12 ounce container, lists 3 Patents and was filled by Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated of St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. This is the same package design as seen on the previous page with, however; the differing MPC "A.C.CO. 44 A D" {similar to (FigureI) on page XI}, printed at the bottom-center of the right side panel. Notice the handle soldered on the the can seam. Cans like these, called hospitality mugs, were passed out by the brewer during social functions and official gatherings. This Grade 1 example is on of only twenty or so quality examples known to the author. Rarity Rating: R-7/R-6." Reprinted with permission from Kevin C. Lilek.
