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
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
On Hold
"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

label, ca.1974, in a metal frame that measures 16.5" x 20.5" - from
Anchor Brewing of San Francisco. $38
