Here is a beautiful advertising tin from the C. F. Blanke Coffee and Tea Company based in St. Louis, MO. This tin simply showed the pride that the company and the residents had for the United States shortly after the conclusion of the Spanish American war, and with the troubles brewing in Europe before WW1…
This tin sign is simply a classic design, very commonly used, with the gold and black color combination. For whatever reason, and I assume simply for the reason the colors were vibrant and a nice contrast, the gold and black coloring scheme was very common in the early 1900’s across multiple advertising product industries. This…
This pre-prohibition tin serving tray has always been one of my favorites. The use of a native American, or Indian if you prefer on a canoe advertising the Rock Island Brewing Companies beer is priceless. The imagery of this brewery tray is very colorful, and was certainly eye appealing to potential buyers. Native American images…
I love this beautiful pre-prohibition era metal serving tray from the Luzerne County Brewing Company which was in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania years ago. The nicely placed beer bottle with the bright label, the shell glass full of Edelbrau next to the bottle, and a lit cigar placed on the end table. While maybe not the safest…
Here is beautiful wooden clock in great condition from the Chicago Biscuit Company, circa 1900.

Here is beautiful metal or tin serving tray from the Bethlehem, PA based Uhl Brewery. The Uhl Company sold Lager Beer as indicated on this tray. The tray is a stock tray, meaning this image was used by many different companies in the 1900-1915 era prior to prohibition.
Here is a beautiful metal or tin serving tray from the American Wine Company for their famous Cooks Imperial Champagne. This particular tray was made by the Shonk Sign Company in Chicago, IL. The Top Hat man is eating oysters and is dressed as a very sophisticated guy as shown. Cooks wine is still made…
This is a tough to find wood general store bin from the National Cereal Company which was based in Saint Louis, Missouri around 1900 when this bin was made. The National Cereal Company eventually merged and became part of the Post Cereal Company.
Here is a very pretty bright orange tin store bin from the Banke Coffee Company which was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin years ago. This metal bin is from the 1900-1910 era.
I love this beautiful tin coffee bin advertising the prolific Nave & McCord Mercantile Company in Saint Joseph, Missouri. The coloring on this tin is very bold, and the lettering is larger than typically seen on many general store large coffee bins of this era, circa 1900-1910. The Nave & McCord business was a large…
