Anheuser-Busch collectible beer mug from the "Review of the 20th Century" series. This model, number CS335, is dedicated to the period 1920-1939. This is the second model in a special series of five models commissioned by the American brewery Anheuser-Busch. The mug was made in Germany in 2000 at the Gerz factory in a limited edition of 5,000 copies. The mug depicts the 32nd President of the United States (1933-1945) Franklin Roosevelt at the time of his legendary "Fireside Conversations." The Anheuser-Busch logo (the letter "A" with an eagle) crowns this story.
Each mug in this series depicts significant events, discoveries, inventions, and personalities from two decades of the 20th century. This edition is a stunning visual chronicle of the years 1920-1939. It includes a selection of detailed illustrations highlighting many important elements of these 20 years of American life and era.
