Anyone who enjoys Norman Rockwell's artwork will appreciate this detailed collector's stein. Or maybe you have a loved one serving away from home, who would really identify with the situation in the painting.
The front of the tankard shows a young recruit protecting his food package from the greedy intentions of much larger and older soldiers. The scene is framed by the American flag on each side, and the handle has a flag draped on it, too.
The sides are in deep relief with a big city, with flags flying everywhere, on one side, and a country farm, also flying the flag, on the other side.
The rim and base have a raised band of stars all around. This series of mugs was sponsored by Miller Brewing Company.
It measures 7 1/4" tall and about 7" wide, including the handle.
The COA was stored inside the mug, so it's curled. That is the only thing we could find wrong with this gorgeous tankard, as there are no chips, scratches, cracks, or signs of crazing. It does not look like it has even been on display.
