  1. These were usually torn out pages from Will Anderson's BEER POSTERS book,or,reproduction posters that were burned/torn on the edges (sometimes) and laid flat on grape drying boards. (the wood base) Th...
  2. Its a Schaefer woodgrain can from the early to mid 50's.
  3. They have matching mugs too.Its part of a set...
  4. Whats the unsolved mystery here?
  5. This was a "stock sign" where brewers could personalize it using the same inner scene and just change the wording to make it their own.That way they wouldn't incur the art charges and setup a custom s...
  6. It is genuine. I've had both a complete sign like yours (with a greenish bulb and ballast that illuminates the glass) and currently have an etched glass insert waiting for a frame.Early to mid 50's vi...
  7. The blue bordered bear is harder to find than the red lettered version.If you need to know more,email/contact me through ibuyoldbeer.com.
  8. They were in business from 1895 til 1903 and were an importer and grocer.
  9. Reminds me of the Samual Adams Utopia containers...
  10. The label has an INTERNAL REVENUE TAX PAID statement on it,so it is pre 1951. It also features what they call a "steinie bottle" which were used in the late 30's into the 40's.I'd say this is in the 1...
  11. With the missing gold,150.00
  12. Two dozen small (12 oz. and not quart) glass bottle cases used for the transport and carrying of bottled beer.
  13. This clock was on the...right? side of a neon sign that had the word "Old Style" in upper and lower case letters (white neon) It was advertising Old Style beer brewed by G. Heileman Brewing headquarte...
  14. Its been cut down to fit into the frame,and was once a larger sign.Many times they did this to "back" a sign with metal or wood for a stiffener, to make it rigid. Henry Weinhard bought Portland’s olde...
  15. Great sign,Carl!
  16. They sell for between 40.00 and 300+ on ebay (you'd have to pack and ship,however-which I'd never risk doing if it were my sign) For a sold example,check auction 150808015660.There have been over a do...
  17. 1952 125-175
  18. Yep,we did!
  19. Hamms 700 to a G
  20. Yes there is. I'm just starting my website ibuyoldbooze.com
  21. Its what they called a "stock tray" where the buyer (store,brewer,tavern) could buy them cheaper, as they were already printed. They simply personalized the back side with their name. There were a sta...
  22. Was this a lighted sign or is it metal? Very cool.
  23. Yes,the complete set of 21 sells for about 20 bucks on ebay.The cans can be found for between .10 and a buck here in MN. Yours are crimped steel cans brewed by G. Heileman of LaCrosse WI.
  24. It is a holder for foam scrapers (there is one inside) The circular beer logo on the front was also used on ball type beer tappers.Your item is made of bakelite.You are correct.
  25. Right on.These were a generic type ring that could be purchased via mail order, or at the PX. The ones that have a bit more value are the class issued academy rings bought in a cadets senior year from...
  26. Rose Gorgeous sign.I'd say its probably made by Lumin-art Display Corp., Brooklyn, NY and Waterbury, CT, from the mid-to late 30s. Some beer brands had a ribbed glass front insert, but yours is rev...
  27. The Gluek's "griffin" logo was more mid 1950's and was used on their flat top cans.They used it up until they sold out to Heileman in 1964. A great pair of neons!
  28. David-thats the key,the parachute,as its so fragile.You should be able to get 500+ for it.Its really a cool sign.
  29. Way cool.When I'm talking on the phone to someone with a forgotten 70's collection,I always say "recycle the aluminum" Not in your case. This may be a Hamm's dog bone tab,but to have it stamped AB mak...
  30. Between 20 and 30 bucks,if that.It was popular to apply reproduction prints (Will Anderson's BEER POSTERS was a popular book to cut pages from,as it was filled with old looking prints that were new) t...
  31. Its a wood (?) framed prohibition era tin sign from Jacob Schmidt Brewing Co. that was located on W. 7th St. in St. Paul MN. I think the special label is an L-permit (if I remember right) which puts i...
  32. Railhead-I'd make that trade.
  33. There are a whole slew of breweries that made these knit sweaters. Thanks for sharing.
  34. Chalkware made in the mid to late 50's from the Columbia Brg. Co in Tacoma.Sells in the 60-125 range depending on condition (chips,smoke damage,paint,etc)
  35. I had to do a double take-the label is in terrific shape.With the cork backed cap,I'd say its mid to late teens.I'd pay in the 75-100 range for this,Dave.Very cool bottle...
  36. It was made by Lakeside Plastics in Minneapolis from 1968-73 Closer to 73 as it features real life bear,Sasha,and Earl Hammond,her keeper-the Grizzly Adams type guy who replaced the cartoon bear in th...
  37. As an artist,I love the old art kits,tins,paints and such to decorate my work area.Very cool!
  38. What other info would you like to know?
  39. Its definitely early,as they were still using the "B" in the logo (for Phillip Best Brewing) as they transitioned over to just Pabst.I'll save my fingers some typing-heres a little history: http://sc...
  40. Late 30's vintage,and its actually made by LackNER. They made them for a variety of products,from overalls,shirts to food products.I've seen them with a simple etched backglass,like yours,or using col...
  41. It is a curved porcelain "corner sign" These were usually attched to the corner of a store or pole so they could be viewed from multiple angles.If you look at turn of the century postcards,you'll ofte...
  42. By getting ahold of me.
  43. Yep,Pendleton OR. Keep us posted with any other finds you make.Check those cooler tops and rafters-they often stashed flat signs there.
  44. I'd say teens,with the unfolded wings.Its a gorgeous sign,the pride of any collection.Thanks for sharing.
  45. Well,what do you define as "good info?" Its a Gillco cab light advertising their Old Tankard ale.Old Tankard was an ale,rather than their traditional Pabst lager.There are different cans,with the toug...
  46. 1959-61
  47. It was brewed either by the Victor (1934-39) or Fort Pitt Brewing Co. (39-43)as they bought Victor Brg. out) in Jeanette PA. Its original.
  48. They reintroduced this in the early 70's,with the same black and white cans.You see those and the box matches (coasters,etc) a lot.The bottles are a bit tougher-15 to 20 bucks in value if the labels a...
  49. They sell at shows for between a dime and quarter each.
  50. The lion logo puts this in the 1968-75 era...
