Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1300838 |
Gettelman’s Fritzie Group / Coasters / Tap. Condition is Used.
Included in the set is Fritzie. The company introduced a new eight-ounce beer bottle labeled “Fritzie” in 1946, inspired by heinzelmännchen, the house gnomes of German folklore. By 1952, Fritzie had evolved into a cartoon beer bottle with a rotund face and Tyrolean hat that was famously featured in different humorous scenes painted on the exterior walls of several Milwaukee taverns. Fritzie is approximately 14 in...ches tall and 5 inches across at the base. He is made of some type of resin material ( I am not sure what!) His label is peeling slightly on the left side. He’s over 60 years old...what do you expect! Also included is 3 different types of coasters, 2 different (empty) cans and a tap handle.
The A. Gettelman Brewing Company (1856-1961) was one of Milwaukee’s major industrial brewers. Although remaining a mid-sized brewer among the city’s giants, Gettelman was an important innovator of beer packaging and advertising and a significant acquisition in the expansion of the Miller Brewing Company.
