    Description

    Vintage 1975 BUD MAN Beer Stein Ceramarte Made in Brazil Great Condition. This is a TRUE Bud Man CS1 with a solid head.
    Nice Original 1975 BUD MAN Budweiser Lidded Beer Stein by CERAMARITE made in Brazil. It measures 7 1/2" - 7 3/4" tall. This is all original. Note the design of the top of the handle which is like three fingers and is not pointed like others. Also note the eyes are not white ... this original version has almost the color of skin or tan for the eyes. This is clearly a CS-1 1975 Bud Man if you compare the photos to the background info below that I found.
    Background
    1975 CS-1 (Collectibles Series Number 1) - Bud Man Makes His Debut
    Two of the major variations of CS1 Bud Man are the knotted and the unknotted bow tie. This stein has the knotted bow tie.
    The first Bud Man stein was introduced with a retail price of .95 and was made by the firm of Ceramarte of Brazil. It is 7 ½" high and is known to have been produced in at least 13 variations. Contributing to the variations are 3 thumb-rests, 2 hinge types, two head types (solid or hollow), 3 basemark variations, 2 body types, and color variations. The red colors vary from bright to light, and sometimes even orange, while the blues range from a rich, dark blue to a light, faded denim shade. The skin tone varies from a cream color to a dark tan. Among the hollow head steins, some have a plastic plug inside the head (at the back of the nose), while others have none. Different styles of the painted eyes are known, and variations on the body include a knotted bow tie as well as an unknotted version. Also, some of the production runs did not have the Registered Mark (®) following "Bud Man." Generally, these differences are attributed to hand production methods and technological improvements introduced during production. However, I have also read that Budweiser had numerous prototypes under evaluation and may have inadvertently approved multiple versions for production. Even with its multitude of looks, CS-1 is easy to recognize. He wears no belt, sports a tan colored bow tie, and the lid opens where his mouth is located. The stein was produced in an "open" edition and the exact number produced is unknown.
