Hess series 300 for Carette Alligator Beer Wagon Carette built Penny toys, including the first advertising freight wagon for Ledererbräu Nürnberg. It was the only brewery Carette advertised as Carette was the son-in-law of Bierbrauer Lederer. In 1890 Friedrich Wanderer drew this design for a trademark for the Lederer brewery at the table of the inn "Zum Krokodil". The beer brewer Lederer took the drawing back to his company and had the crocodile wrapped around a beer mug graphic registered as a trademark. This brewery still uses the same graphic today (as shown in photo) in its advertising and labeling. This beer logo was printed on at least 3 of the Hess for Carette wagons, #905, 906, and 908.
