Die-cut metal inlay:
Anheuser Busch logo surrounded by PAUL A. VON GONTARD
Paul was the son of Adelbet Von Gontard who was the grandson of Adahaus Busch.
Adelbert was head of engineering in te 20s and then went into the sales division to later become in charge of all sales divisions of Anheuser Busch.
A photo of a 1940 ground breaking ceremony at a new brewery shows Adelbert and son Paul doing their thing.
I'll have the chip on display this summer at Busch Gardens, Orlando.
