This incredible self framed tin sign put out by the Indianapolis Brewing Company in 1904 was a result of their flagship brand of beer, Duesseldorfer taking home the top award at the Saint Louis MO 1904 Worlds Fair Exposition. Brilliantly designed with their mythological like boy, and the image of the Grand Basin at the…
The Heim Brewery based in East Saint Louis, Illinois produced this ad for “Health Beers” back in the pre-prohibition era. Heim’s Select, Lager, and Export are the brand styles of beer on the labels. This is a lithographic poster from the 1910 era. But claiming their products were “Health Beers” is rather interesting. I have…

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…
The Union Brewery owned by Howell and King produced a neat stock tray featured here to help sell their breweries products during the pre-prohibition era. This particular stock tray image was used by many breweries prior to prohibition starting, and was one of the more popular images of that era for brewing companies. Interestingly, many…

This lithograph features an amazing image of his brewery at the corner of Greenfield and 17th Street. The lithograph also promotes his Weiss beer brand of beverage, a commonly sold product in many of…
WOWSER! Pictured here is an amazing early pre-prohibition era self-framed tin sign from the Storz Brewing Company, an Omaha, Nebraska icon in the brewery business of yesteryear. This particular image featured a bird carrying a gnome or elf like small man away from the brewery, with two bottles of beer in his hands. Could the…
The Wagner Brewing Company formerly in Granite City, Illinois used a gnome or elf like man to carry their New Brew product to you. This particular brand New Brew was the breweries attempt to revive their beer brand once prohibition ended. Why the elf like creature is anyone’s guess. However, multiple breweries used these guys…
The Consumers Brewing Company of New York had a reason for calling itself “of N.Y.” in their advertising. There were simply too many breweries calling themselves the Consumers Brewing Company in the United States prior to prohibition. Featured here is a great round tin tip tray complete with the original hanging metal chain. I love…
Featured is one of my favorite pennant signs, this one from the Evansville, Indiana based Sterling Brewery, for their Prohibition era Super-Bru brand of alcoholic brewing beer drink. The colors on this sign have always attracted the attention of colors, as the green is a rather unique color from beer brands. The addition of a…
