The well known Mt. Vernon Pure Rye Whiskey brand was a brand created distributed and marketed by the Cook & Bernheimer Company based in New York, N.Y. As shown in this self framed tin sign, the brand was advertised simply as “It’s Square” on this piece. I find this rather unique and interesting that was…
The Drake and Company coffee manufacturer which was based in Easton, PA was a very successful company at one time. Their flagship brand was Drako Coffee, obviously a takeoff of the Drake Company name, and with an easy tie into to a drake mallard duck as shown on the image of the can label. This…
This particular metal or tin serving tray from the Zipp’s Cherri-O brand is truly a beautiful tray with the robin drinking the delicious drink with a straw! I always found this depiction amusing as I can hardly imagine a bird using a straw to drink with, but some artist years ago thought of it and…
I have always loved the colors and the incredible image used by The American Brewing Company out of Saint Louis, Missouri in the early 1900’s. As shown here, the company chose to use a beautiful illustration of a woman overseeing her temple like garden and looking down at the river commerce for their metal advertising…
Featured is a rather comical lithograph from the Garland Stove and Range Company which was based in Detroit, MI. This is a funny litho featured the claim “Please shut the door or beware of the dog”. The interesting thing is the image of what appears to be a bulldog with eye glasses and an old…
I love the graphics on this rare 1898 lithographic calendar from the Adam Scheidt Brewery which was based in Norristown, PA at one time. If you look closely, the flowing robed woman has a stein of beer in her hand and appears to be on her way to bring the product to someone. This litho…
I find this antique advertising sign interesting to say the least. The Hamilton Brown Shoe Company, which in the early 1900’s when this sign was made was the largest shoe manufacturer in the United States. Apparently the company was so proud of their products that they used the ad campaign, “Under the Knife” to demonstrate…

The Rochester New York based Bartholomay Brewing Company produced a rather risque series of advertising calendars in the late 1800’s which featured drawings of nude woman in them. This particular 1894 dated calendar image features the companies trademark round wheels with wings on it, a rather unique symbol which would not be confused with other…
Here is a great lithograph from the United States Brewing Company out of Chicago, Illinois featuring President George Washington and his staff enjoying some Cabinet Export Bottled Beer. This particular lithograph claims that this was the “First in the Country”, which I don’t know what that claim exactly means today? Cabinet beer was a brand…
