The Originals and Early Follow Ups (1959, 1960 1964)
In the 1950s, through a series of award-winning commercials for Utica Club beer, many television viewers in the Northeast were introduced to the West End Brewing Company (WEBCO) spokesmugs, Schultz and Dooley. Unlike the ceramic Schultz and Dooley character steins now marketed by WEBCO, the original TV characters were made of wood. The renowned puppeteer Bill Baird and comedian Jonathan Winters are credited with bringing the steins to life through the use of their voices, complete with German and Irish accents.
In 1959, trading on the popularity of the Schultz and Dooley television commercials, WEBCO contracted with Schmetzer Inc., a Liverpool, New York, importer, to import 5,000 ceramic sets of the now famous duo from King Werk (Wüfel & Müller GmbH), a German stein manufacturer located in Höhr Grenzhausen. For the most part, the original steins were given away as promotional items to various dealers and distributors. Some, however, were apparently offered for sale to individuals at $9.95 a pair.
The original Schultz and Dooley (Figure 1) are easy to recognize by the \"markings 59 CSM in blue lettering on Schultz and 59 CDM in green on Dooley\" printed below the handles, along with a West End Brewing Company copyright statement. (Figure 2) The steins are similarly printed on the bottom, but with the additional markings ©WEBCO and MADE IN GERMANY pressed into the steins themselves.
