Vintage Michelob “St. Louis Missouri” Belt Buckle – Bergamot Brass Works (1977)

This vintage Michelob beer belt buckle was produced in 1977 by Bergamot Brass Works under arrangement with Anheuser-Busch, Inc. The front features a richly detailed portrait of a bearded figure raising a goblet, symbolizing Old World brewing tradition and craftsmanship. Encircling the portrait is raised lettering reading “Michelob – St. Louis Missouri” with Anheuser-Busch, Inc. clearly identified.

Cast in solid brass, the buckle has a substantial weight and finely textured background that highlights the depth of the relief work. The imagery blends European heritage with American brewing history, making it especially appealing to beer memorabilia collectors and fans of vintage Americana.

The reverse is fully marked © 1977 Bergamot Brass Works, © 1977 Reproduced by arrangement with Anheuser-Busch, Inc., and Made in USA, confirming authenticity. A warm, natural patina has developed over time, enhancing the vintage character without obscuring detail.
