Early tin litho Ruhstaller's Gilt Edge Lager beer advertising charger. This charger displays a man and woman relaxing on a bench sharing a beer. The woman appears to be holding a bottle opener while the man offers her a beer. The top of the sign reads "Ruhstaller's Gilt Edge Lager Sacramento, Cal. Best Beer Brewed".
