You would think that showing up at 4:30 AM to an estate sale might get you towards the front of the line,right? Nope.I was number 43 in line-sheesh! It was a lesson learned in "numbers" and estate sales.The first guy in line was there at 6 PM-THE NIGHT BEFORE.He was paid 100.00 to wait by an antiques dealer.When that dealer finally showed up,I approached him about a Hamms sign I wanted inside.He purchased it and I bought it later that afternoon from him.Its rare to find one with the fragile,reverse painted glass in such fine shape.

Love Hamms. I have a vintage serving tray and a stemmed Hamm's glass. Being from MN I gotta love it!
They still sell 30 packs of Hamms beer here in MN.But now its made by Miller.My wife's grandpa was the brewmaster and started in 1958.
Yeah...that's cool!
