BEER SIGNS, DISPLAYS and PRINTS FOR SALE
Breweriana may include mirrors, tin, plaster, chalk, back bar, cardboard,
prints, and tin over cardboard. I've also included Beer
Posters in this category. Occasionally I may also offer some non-brewery
advertising
as well.
"Goebel"
back-bar chalk from Oakland, Calif. ca.1950. Excellent
condition, with very minor dings. $175
"Rainier
aged Beer & Ale" from the Rainier Brewing Co., San
francisco, Calif. This composite sign measures 16.5" x
10.5" and is ca.1942. Excellent condition with no chips
or cracks. Sold
Wieland's
bartender statuette, 8¾" tall, and dated 1943. When Pacific Brewing &
Malting (San Jose) introduced this chalk in June of 1940 they described
their smiling "Johnny Wieland" as an advertising display where a crown forms
the hat of the "little Bartender" who is slipped over the neck of a steinie
bottle, with the label appearing to be his appron. Scarce - $65
"Acme
Beer - Iced In Bottles" - professional photocopy of an unused, Art
Deco style decal, ca.1938, from my collection. Since
applied decals can't be saved, this example is quite rare - and may be the
only one known. The replica is displayed under glass in an 8"x12" metal
frame. Unique! $45
"Silver
Spring Brewery, Ltd. / Victoria, B.C." Measures 16" across not including
the 21" square frame. Outstanding stone lithograph of a fire chief lit by a
glowing red light from below, suggesting that a fire has been reduced to
embers. Above his head are the words, "the life saver" with the
double meaning that he is a life saver and can
now enjoy a beer that is his life saver. This label would have been
applied to the top of a barrel filled with 72 quarts of beer, packed in
straw for shipping. The lithograph was prined by
Rolph & Clark of Toronto, between 1904 and 1917,
and displays a wonderful use of color, light and shadow. Probably the best
image of a firefighter in all early advertising. Great cross catagory
collectible as important to firefighting collectors as for brewery and
advertising collectors. Perfect condition and professionally framed.
$200
"Acme
Beer" on a 20" high, chalkware wall display. Based on the stein in the
Quest for Fortune painting done for Acme in 1945. Great condition for a
chalk figure - no repairs or touch-ups. $155
"Olympia Gold - the Right Light Beer - Sold Here - Seventy
calories per 12 ounce serving" and "Olympia Brewing
Co., Olympia, Washington" in fine print under the red banner - all
on a 26½" X 20½" advertising mirror. Olympia Gold was introduced in
mid-December 1976. When Pabst bought Olympia in 1984 they changed
Olympia Gold to a low-alcohol beer called Low-Alcohol Gold, so the mirror
dates from 1976 to 1984. Excellent condition. $65
Poster of an "Anchor Porter" label, ca.1974, in a metal frame that
measures 16.5" x 20.5" - from Anchor Brewing of San Francisco. $38

plank - measures 14" x 20.5" - and issued by Anheuser-Busch in the
