Hello, you are bidding on a Mutual Beer Brewing Company (In Golden Bottles) picture. The picture is approximately 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 and it is stamped "Brimmer Photo Co. St. Louis" on the bottom right corner. The picture has a backing with a tab (see pic). The picture does show wear and age but still looks great so please see the pictures to judge the condition for yourself. It is extremely difficult to find any original beer pictures this old and this is a great one.
The Mutual Brewing Company existed for only a short time in Saint Louis, lasting from 1912 until 1916. During those years, the brewery was known for its "golden" bottles. The brewery was located at what today is the intersection of Boyle and Forest Park Avenue. The Mutual Brewing Company began as an effort by the St. Louis Retail Liquor Dealers Association to brew their beer. The location of the brewery was 236 S. Boyle Ave which is today the corner of Boyle and Forest Ave near Saint Louis University. The brewery building itself was built during the summer of 1912. The designer of the brewery, Wilhelm Griesser, decided to include a system of his design which helped to keep beer cold during the brewing process while allowing production rooms to remain at a reasonable temperature for the health and safety of the brewery workers.
The gray W and M are just watermarks and not on the original picture.
The price for this Rare Breweriana / Old Brewery Collectible item is $1000.
