Hamilton, Brown Hardware Shoe Tin Sign, "Under The Knife", St. Louis, MO. Ca. 1910

HAMILTON BROWN SHOE’S GUARANTEE MADE BY GOING UNDER THE KNIFE!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschMay 8, 2022

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…

Lemp Brewery Serving Tray, St Louis, MO. Circa 1900

Bartholomay Brewing Calendar 1894 Rochester, NY

BARTHOLOMAY BREWING CALENDARS WERE AHEAD OF THEIR TIME!

Antique Advertising Collectibles, BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschMarch 27, 2022

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…

United States Brewing Co., Chicago, IL. Cabinet Beer Lithograph, Circa 1905

GEORGE WASHINGTON ENJOYED CABINET BEER TOO!

Antique Advertising Collectibles, BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschFebruary 20, 2022

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…

Tom Moore Cigar Lithograph, Niles & Moser Company. Circa 1900

TOM MOORE CIGARS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME!

TobaccianaBy Randy HuetschJanuary 30, 2022

The Tom Moore brand of cigars was made by the Niles & Moser Company for over 75 years, a long time in the tobacco industry where there were literally over a hundred different brands in many of the largest cities in the United States in the early 1900’s. This particular brand obviously didn’t need much…

Pierce Oil Co., Pennant Auto Oil Tin Sign, St. Louis, MO. Ca. 1920

THE PIERCE OIL COMPANY WINNING PENNANT OIL BRAND!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschJanuary 9, 2022

What a better way to establish the superiority of your brand by calling it “Pennant”? I think it is safe to assume that the word pennant connotates a winner or champion, so naming an automobile oil “Pennant”, you would assume this oil is going to help your car run either fast or extremely well! And…

Cohen Store Serving Tray, Somerset, PA. Circa 1903

20th CENTURY STUDIO’S -THE COSHOCTON, OH MYSTERY MANUFACTURER

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschJanuary 2, 2022

There are many articles which have been written about the history of the Coshocton, Ohio Advertising artwork companies in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. During this period hundreds of thousands of advertising signs, coasters, ashtrays, serving trays, and other advertising gimmicks were put out by the massive corporations which resided in Coshocton, OH at…

Chef Spices Matchholder, Berdan & Co., Toledo, OH. Circa 1910

Food ProductsBy Randy HuetschJanuary 1, 2022

Here is a very early tin match holder from the Berdan and Company Spice Manufacturer which was based in Toledo, Ohio in the early 1900’s. This particular matchholder advertises their Chef Spice brand, which a large as life Chef featured prominently on the piece!

W. H. Baker Gold Medal Flour 1878 Sign, Dorchester, MA.

W. H. BAKER BREAKFAST COCOA WINS GOLD AT THE PARIS EXPO!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschDecember 30, 2021

The W. H. Baker Flour Company was very proud of their Gold Medal Award in 1878 at the Paris Exposition as illustrated in this early plaster sign. Of course, why not? Interestingly I have found that these early Expos and Worlds Fair events often had multiple winners of medals given at the same event, and…

National Brewing Ales Serving Tray, Syracuse, N.Y. Circa 1910

THE BRILLIANT ALE BRAND WAS PROUD OF ITSELF IN SYRACUSE!

Antique Advertising Collectibles, BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschDecember 19, 2021

Featured is an incredible oval serving tray from the National Brewing Company which had been based in Syracuse, N.Y. prior to prohibition. This oval metal tray advertises their India Pale Ale and another Ale, however the brewery was also known and very proud in their advertising for their Brilliant Ale brand. I would suspect a…
