Ak-Sar-Ben Ware Foil Label on Cup
Foil and paper label as it appears on an Ak-Sar-Ben Ware cup. Note that the label is in the shape of the state of Nebraska. Seems fitting in that Ak-Sar-Ben is Nebraska spelled backwards. For those of us who live in the midwest, the Ak-Sar-Ben name is not uncommon and has been used for many other purposes. There was a famous horse racing track and livestock show called Ak-Sar-Ben also.
Foil label.
I've never seen Ak-Sar-Ben on the East Coast and I believe, from others accounts, that it is hard to find in the Midwest, too.
Also, I've never seen a foil label. Just terrific that you've got one.
