White House Auto Gasoline Sign, Bell Oil Co. St. Louis, MO. Ca. 1910

WHITE HOUSE GASOLINE FUELED EARLY AUTO’S!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschAugust 24, 2025

Here is a rather unique tin sign, one that I love as it differentiates an early type of gasoline by calling itself “Auto Gasoline”. This is not surprising as this was an era where automobiles were very scarce still, and a luxury to own. Many were still riding horses to work, etc. The Bell Oil…

Chas. Schibi Beer Brewery ROG Corner Sign, St. Charles, MO. Circa 1900.

SCHIBI ONCE RULED THE ST. CHARLES, MO BEER SCENE!

BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschJanuary 4, 2025

This particular curved glass corner sign was designed to hang outside of saloons or taverns in the 1900 era whereby beer from the Charles Schibi Brewery was being sold to thirsty patrons inside!   Oftentimes because of the curved design and the wooden backed frame, these signs were put up outside the establishments in a pair,…

ABC Beer Clock, American Brewing Co., St. Louis, MO. Circa 1935

ABC BEER CLOCK KEPT TIME FOR YOU (AND AL CAPONE PERHAPS)!

BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschOctober 26, 2024

Here is a beauty, an electric clock featuring the infamous ABC beer brand from the American Brewing Company which was based in St. Louis, MO both pre-prohibition and post-prohibition era’s. This particular clock comes in both a red and gold colored background, and are identical in styles except for the color scheme. At one time…

Julius Wehmueller Antique Saloon Stein, St. Louis, MO. Circa 1905

JULIUS WEHMUELLER SALOON SATISFIED THE WEARY TRAIN TRAVELER!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschAugust 30, 2024

Here is a beautiful stein from the Julius Wehmueller Saloon which was at 18th and Market streets in downtown St. Louis, MO prior to prohibition. The stein itself features a beautiful image of the train station and not of Mr. Wehmueller’s business which I find of note also. The interesting thing about this saloon was…

John B. Busch Brewing Co Celluloid Matchsafe, Washington, MO. Circa 1905

THE “OTHER” BUSCH BREWING FAMILY IN WASHINGTON, MO MADE BEER TOO!

BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschMarch 16, 2024

I have always loved this celluloid matchsafe from the John B. Busch Brewing Company out of Washington, MO, a smaller city of 10,000 plus residents on the Missouri River banks, about forty miles or so from St. Louis, MO. This brewery was founded by a cousin of the more famous August Busch Brewing family from…

Gold Seal Rye Shot Glass. Hellman & Co St Louis, MO

A. M. HELLMAN’S GOLD SEAL RYE WHISKEY, A FORERUNNER TO THE OLD CROW BRAND!

WhiskeyBy Randy HuetschMarch 1, 2020

The A.M. Hellman Company was one of the most prolific whiskey distillers in the United States prior to the turn of prohibition in 1933.   The company was known for their Old Crow brand of whiskey, but as this shot glass shows, they also advertised often for their Gold Seal brand of rye whiskey.   The company…

Johnson-Layne Coffee Company, Log Cabin Store Bin, St. Louis, MO. Circa 1910

JOHNSON-LAYNE’S LOG CABIN COFFEE AND THEIR UNUSUAL STORE BIN!

CoffeeBy Randy HuetschNovember 30, 2019

The Log Cabin brand tin general store coffee bin featured here has always been one that fascinated me, simply because of the detail of the tin itself.   The Johnson-Layne Coffee Company went all out when they designed this store bin, finely detailing the look of a primitive log cabin, complete with a detachable brick chimney. …

Ridenour-Baker Grocer Co Convention Brand Coffee Tin, Kansas City, MO. Circa 1900

THE RIDENOUR-BAKER GROCER CO. CONVENTION COFFEE IS A HIT!

CoffeeBy Randy HuetschOctober 19, 2018

One of my favorite antique coffee tins from the glory days of advertising comes from the Ridenour-Baker Grocery Company which was based in Kansas City, Missouri.   The company capitalized on the 1900 Democratic Party Presidential Nominating Convention which occurred in 1900 by introducing the Convention Hall brand of roasted coffee. The company featured at least…

RARE Anheuser Busch and Klausmann Brewery Tin Pre-Prohibition Corner Signs, St. Louis, MO

120 YEAR OLD BREWERY CORNER SIGNS RECENTLY REUNITED!

BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschAugust 11, 2018

Recently I was fortunate to have been able to acquire the metal Klausmann Brewery beer corner sign featured on the left side in this photograph from a fellow pre-prohibition era breweriana collector.  While I owned the Anheuser-Busch sign first pictured on the right, I was very interested in pairing the two similar designed signs, particularly…

Ricksecker Cigar Co. Kansas City, MO. Col. Rick Havana 10 Cent Cigar Lithograph

RICKSECKER CIGAR CO. HONORS THEIR SURNAME AND A CIVIL WAR HERO!

TobaccianaBy Randy HuetschMarch 25, 2018

I was intrigued when I first saw this early cigar advertising poster from the Ricksecker Cigar Company in Kansas City, MO.  Who was Colonel Rick, and what does he have to do with cigars?  This image is very bright, and Col. Rick looks very distinguished.   The name Rick certainly resonates well with the name Ricksecker…
