I have no idea if I'll get a response back to the research email I just sent to the good folks at the Schaefer beer company, but I really enjoyed imagining the recipient's reaction...
Good morning!
I am currently revising the second draft of my next book, which takes place at a roadside tourist attraction in Florida featuring re-creations of French landmarks built entirely from empty Schaefer beer cans.
However, I am stuck on one technical detail. I would like to describe the coloring of the beer cans from the early 1950s, but the only reference I have is a few old advertisements posted on the Internet. Would it be accurate to describe the can itself as white, with a gold trim? Regarding the logo, I am comfortable describing it as red, with white lettering. Was this a standard trademark?
Also, if you have any photographs of cans from this era available, that would be very helpful. Thank you very much for your assistance!
