1975 CS-1 - Bud Man Makes His Debut

The first Bud Man stein was introduced with a retail price of $5.95 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 early 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.
