This is what a serious collection of Hamm's brewery stuff looks like.
Hamm's had breweries in St. Paul,San Francisco, Baltimore and Houston,so there are advertising variations for the east coast (Refreshing as...) and west coast. (Western prices is the tagline on certain signage)
Local distributors also co-opped or made their own advertising, such as salt shakers, ashtrays and other small ad items and giveaways.
For as extensive as this collection seems, it represents about 30% of the THOUSANDS of promotional items Hamm's made over their history.
Theres always more to find, and thats what makes this hobby so fun!
