The Best of Antiques
and Collecting
What are you looking for?
Antique beer steins, mugs and tankards are prized for their craftsmanship and colorful ornamentation and scenes. They can be found in many styles and materials, including copper, pewter, silver, pottery, glass and wood. Many steins were imported to the U.S. from Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially from the city of Mettlach, whose potteries produced thousands of the vessels.
Breweriana spans a wide range of items having to do with beer and brewing. Key categories include cans, steins, trays, labels, and openers, plus more unusual items such as tap knobs, bar statues, and etched glasses. Many collectors also focus on specific brands such as Hamms, Pabst, and Budweiser.
