Great collection you and your Dad have amassed! I really like the 1973 Schlitz ground breaking shovel! How did you find that?

Hahaha! I have never seen one of those before. That is hilarious!

Finally found, and unable to post in a PM, so here you are, Tom!! My meager piece of brewery ephemera. These are still available (of course) on the Bay.

Thank you! We go to brewery shows, auctions, and of course, eBay is always a good source!

Our Pabst Cabinet: The majority of these bottles date from the 1870's to the 1950's.

Blatz, Hamm's, and Kurth Cabinet. Some great stuff in here, from the 1880's to the 1950's. Some great prohibition era items, such as Blatz Cigars, Soda, and Malt Syrup.

This one I just set up today, got the cabinet at a bargain and it fit in the back of the wagon perfect! It's a hodge podge of all different brands. Items are mostly from the 1920's to the 1950's.

That is an amazing collection and display. I have a very small collection of Walter's Beer items. There were two breweries - Pueblo, CO and Eau Claire, WI. I only have items from the Pueblo brewery as it was in my hometown. In recent years, someone began brewing Walter's again, hence the growler.

I recently came across this small lighted sign at a local flea market. It has a humpback grey crinkle-finished body with a thick reverse painted and mirrored glass front. The top and bottom glass brackets are translucent emerald green plastic strips. It has a nice "Ohio Advertising Display Company" decal on the back. It can be set on a table or hung with a small strong chain attached on top. I would date it circa 1950. After wiping off years of grime and replacing the rotted cord it looks like new. I like how the green strips glow when it's on.
