Berliner Kindl Appraisal

Berliner Kindl Beer Coaster

This is a circular beer coaster advertising Berliner Kindl beer. The coaster is made of a thick, absorbent cardboard material, typical for beverage coasters. Its diameter appears to be approximately 3.5 to 4 inches. The color scheme is primarily yellow for the background with a central illustration featuring a cartoon character peeking over the rim of a grey beer stein. The character has bright orange hair. A green circular border surrounds the illustration. Dark blue text is printed around the circumference of the coaster, reading "frisch und würzig - nach Urberliner Art" along the top curve and "BERLINER KINDL" prominently along the bottom curve. The edges are rounded but show some slight scuffing and minor signs of use. There is no visible significant damage like tears or creases, indicating it has been relatively well-preserved or not heavily used. The printing is clear and legible. The style of the illustration suggests a mid-20th-century origin, likely correlating with the branding of Berliner Kindl during that period. The quality of the printing and the density of the cardboard are standard for the type of promotional item.
