ORIGINAL BUDWEISER BUDMAN BEER BELLIED SUPERHERO draft beer tap handle. Anheuser Busch, St. Louis, Missouri. Founded in 1785. The King Of Beers. 5.0%ABV. American pale lager. The Original. This Bud's For You! Budman. Defender of Quality. Beer Bellied Superhero. No official powers or talents other than drinking. Created as a marketing gimmick in 1969. He became the focus of a massive Anheuser Busch marketing program for the next 2-1/2 decades. Budman was everywhere. Mugs, sticker, shirts & statues. Salt and pepper shakers, coasters, posters, clocks and more. Some of the earlier taps were not well made. This Budman tap was used at an establishment in Long Branch, N.J. back in the early 1990's. I saw it pour my beer and I had to have it! I offered up big bucks but they would not let it go. It is a secret how I later acquired it. One of my earliest pieces that has been in my collection since the mid 1990's. Displayed on an off for next 25 years or so. Excellent condition but his shoes are not bright white and they have tiny bubbles that look like acne. The aluminum ferrule has some scratches and a small bubble can be seen on his Aviator reflective sunglasses. Rest of tap is very clean for its age and looks great! It works perfectly and will display well. He comes in the spirit of America in red, white and blue. Always buzzed and smiling. He is looking to the sky for his next intoxicated adventure. Probably a bit like todays Hancock. Super cool and collectible. I acquired a new and unused one so this is now available. (The last picture is yours with my new one). Stands 10 inches tall. Tap has been turned and rotated so that all sides are pictured. Please look carefully at the photos. This is the actual item you will receive. Stand not included. If the item has noticeable flaws, it will be mentioned in description. Please ask any questions you may have before purchase. I usually respond quite fast. I will combine shipping on multiple purchases to save you money. USA buyers only please. Always leave great feedback or contact me first. I will do everything I can to make it right. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
