This particular pre-prohibition era metal serving tray from the Metz Brewing Company out of Omaha, NE is a beauty. The coloring is unusual compared to most pre-pro era trays and mostly I love it because they only needed to include an “M” in the middle of the tray in order to command a buyers attention.…
The West End Brewing Company formerly based in Utica, New York prior to prohibition certainly tried to emulate a high society feel to their beer based on the image used on this self-framed tin sign from the 1900 era. I love this image as the featured woman is leaning back alongside the fire, a small…
This particular advertising lithograph from the Franz Falk Brewing Company which was based in Milwaukee, WI during the pre-prohibition era is one of my favorites. Breweriana collectors today are always interested in advertising images which contain the brewery or factory scene in the piece. The incorporation of the Falk Brewery in the bottom inset certainly…
Veterans across America were given a nice salute essentially when the Crescent Brewing Company which was based in Marionville, MO produced a beer called “Old Veteran” back in the 1930’s. This particular tin over cardboard designed sign recognizes veterans with a twist, that being the crescent moon shaped character on the left side of the…
Wow! Here is a beautiful self-framed tin sign from the Jung Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, circa 1900. I love this image but how the woman in a nightgown sitting on the edge of a bed serving you right relates to the beer being advertised is interesting in itself. What I do know is the image…
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…
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…

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…
