Circa: 1950s Manufacturer: Milwaukee Brewery/Made in USA This wonderful steel beer tray in colors of gold and white with red lettering and highlights advertising Miller High Life Beer is marked on the inside and outside rim: Miller High Life / Enjoy Life with Miller High Life. In 1854, with Germany in the throes of political unrest and growing restrictions, the Millers (Frederick Edward John Miller and wife Josephine) and their infant son emigrated to the United States. After spending a year based in New York City and inspecting various parts of the country by river and lake steamer, Miller traveled up the Mississippi to Prairie du Chien and traveled overland to Milwaukee. Shortly after he arrived in Milwaukee, Frederick Miller paid $8,000 for the Plank-Road Brewery, now the Milwaukee Brewery. Philip Morris Inc. purchased the company in 1969 and the rest of the family's stock in 1970. From the 1950's, in very good condition, there is some paint flecks and scratches, which I have shown in my pictures and it measures 1 1/8 inches high and 12 inches in diameter. A nice addition to any Advertising or Breweriana Collection. SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed.
