For your consideration is this vintage, 1975 Schmidt Beer hanging chandelier light. The Schmidt Brewery has been a fixture in Saint Paul’s West 7th neighborhood since 1855. The brewery became the largest in Minnesota by 1860, producing 1,200 barrels annually and shipping them as far south as Tennessee. It was restructured as the St. Paul Brewing Company in 1898 before being sold to Jacob Schmidt soon after in 1900. When prohibition shut down most of the breweries in the 1920s, the Schmidt Brewery kept afloat by making non-alcoholic beverages like Malta and City Club. Prohibition was lifted in 1933 and Schmidt’s became the 7th largest brewery in the country by 1936. Schmidt Brewery changed hands a number of times between 1954 and 1987 before ceasing production in 1990. The hanging light shows a plastic, faux stained glass look with a light yellow base, with green, red and blue stained glass floral designs. There are large red faux stained glass sections with white lettering reading, "Schmidt Beer". The hanging light comes with the light shield, which is usually missing from these. It features a large chain so the light may be set at many different heights. The hanging light shows good condition with no signs of damage and little to no wear present. A very good condition collectors item! The hanging light measures a diameter of 17" and 13" tall.
