Description

This can is a work of art by Minnesota native Duck Stamp artist Les Kouba. One of the original 4 scenes he painted for the Jacob Schmidt Brewing Company in the early 1950s to promote their flagship "Schmidt Beer". The scene features Minnesota's Past and Present separated by a body of water. At the left are several American Bison, which once numbered in the millions on the northern plains. to the right is a modern dairy farm with several holstein cows grazing on the grass and drinking from the river..
This is an excellent example, bottom opened with a Schmidt Vanity Top lid. Marked "Strong".
