The Story
Schlitz Light bar mirror, 1979. Screened in gold over a smoky mirror field by Beeco Mfg. of Chicago for the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co. of Milwaukee, whose copyright line and stock number 87574 are still stamped on the back; three years later Stroh of Detroit bought the brewery. The globe, sunburst and "Natural Pilsner Beer" lettering are intact. The mirror carries an even clouded look across the glass, and the wood frame has worn to bare grain along the top edge. About 15½ by 13¼ inches, hanging wire in place. It belongs over a home bar or at the foot of the basement stairs. Pickup only.
