As s collector of “old beer stuff” for many years, I’ve accumulated various and assorted beer related items. I buy, trade and sell items from a large variety of breweries. My personal favorite is Stegmaier Brewing Company of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. who distributed a wealth of advertising spanning nearly 100 years.

I’m always looking for items that are different or unique from Steg. I’m a member of ECBA. If you have any special interests or just want to stop by for a beer chat, drop me a note. Thanks for visiting and happy hunting.

Come back and visit now and then. I’m always updating the Steg photo gallery and my “for sale or trade” pages.

In addition to my beer collecting, I collect old Pennsylvania fishing licenses and Phillies baseball cards. Also, I enjoy bowling, and am an avid fisherman. If I don’t respond right away to your mail it’s probably cause the “GONE FISHING” sign is posted.

P. Ballantine & Sons, Newark, NJ

Ballantine Beer & Ale baseball theme sign; 10 1/2 x 13 1/2 inch, Decal on pressed board sign featuring Mel Allen, the voice of the New York Yankees. Probably 50's vintage. Great cross-collectible in very nice shape. The only issue is that the easel stand is...

C. Schmidt & Sons, Philadelphia, PA

Schmidt's of Philadelphia 100th Anniversary sign; 8 1/2 x 11 inch, embossed plastic with a string hanger on the back. Scarce Schmidt's sign in really nice shape. A few very minor rubs.

Stegmaier Brewing Co., Wilkes-Barre, PA

Stegmaier Magic Can Pack; 11 x 14 inch, cardboard point of sale sign with an easel stand on the back. Late 60's or early 70's vintage featuring the brand new plastic holder keeping the cans together. Unused with a bit of edge and corner wear.

Dortmunder DAB, Germany

Dortmunder Actien-Bier; 11 3/4 x 16 1/2 inch, laminated cardboard sign. Has an easel stand on the back. From the looks of the advertising this "appears" to be fairly old and possibly brought over here from Germany. Great sign in real nice shape.

Piels Bros., Brooklyn, NY

Piels Real Draft point of sale signs; Lot of 3 different 7 1/4 x 5 inches, glossy, photo like cardboard signs. A little different for POS signs. Vintage unknown. I'm guessing 80's. Unused, great shape.

Molson, Canada

Molson Golden; 14 x 13 1/4 inch, 3-demensional plastic sign with hanger on the back. Some scuffing on the raised silver boarders. White portion as some light staining. Still a nice, attractive sign. Problems are not significant. I think this is a little older vintage.

Standard Rochester Brewing Co., Inc., Rochester, NY

Topper Pilsener; 16 x 8 inch reverse-on-glass sign. Has a string hanger on the back. Late 50's or 60's vintage. As shown in the photo, the lower right corner shows some paint sticking to the cardboard backing instead of the glass. Rest of the sign is in great shape...
