William Tell Flour Tip Tray, Amstead & Burk, Springfield, OH. Ca. 1915

YOU KNEAD WILLIAM TELL FLOUR!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschSeptember 4, 2023

How can you not love the William Tell flour brand logo, “You Knead It”!   I always thought whoever came up with this slogan was pretty clever in their day.   After all, everyone kneaded their flour back in the early 1900’s when this particular tip tray was produced.   Today with the advances of technology kneading flour…

Columbia Grafonola Phonograph Worked for You!

THE COLUMBIA GRAFONOLA WORKED FOR YOU!!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschAugust 27, 2023

The invention of a self stopping music phonograph was a big deal around 1910 when this particular sign from the Columbia Grafonola brand was produced. The new music invention now allowed your phonograph record player to turn off automatically once the vinyl album was at the end. Hence, touting the ease of the user to…

J & M Haffen Brewing Co, Serving Tray, New York City, N.Y. Circa 1900

HAFFEN’S BREWERY ONCE RULED THE BRONX HUB DISTRICT!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschAugust 20, 2023

This subtle and non-descript but brilliantly colored blue and gold serving tray was never meant to tout the breweries products. It was simply designed to serve as a reminder of the brewery and their products as a choice for the saloon or tavern patron. Typically brewers oftentimes added a specific type of beer they were…

The Society Shoe Floor Tin Sign Stand, Roberts, Johnson & Rand Shoe Co. St. Louis, MO. Ca 1900

THE SOCIETY SHOE PUT ON QUITE A DISPLAY WITH THIS FLOOR STAND!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschApril 23, 2023

The Roberts, Johnson & Rand Shoe Company out of St. Louis, MO certainly put on an advertising muscle flex with this beautifully designed metal shoe sign with mounting floor stand brackets attached on the backside. This sign advertises their Star brand of shoes are better. This shoe stand held many styles of their shoe offerings…

Tony Faust Saloon Coin Bank Arcade Coin-Op, St. Louis, MO. Circa 1890

TONY FAUST SALOON WAS THE PRIDE OF THE WEST!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschJanuary 29, 2023

Wow! I was fortunately to recently pick up an amazing piece of St. Louis, MO history. Featured today is an early Tiger wood coin bank from the once famous Tony Faust restaurant which was at 4th and Elm Street. This location is now under the Gateway Arch grounds in downtown Saint Louis. The coin bank…

Garland Stove Co. Lithograph, Detroit, MI. Circa 1900

GARLAND STOVE & RANGES CO. BRAND’S FUNNY DOG BITE THREAT AMUSED MANY! Circa 1900

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschJuly 17, 2022

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…

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…

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…

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…
