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.

Piels Bros., Brooklyn, NY
Piels Fine Beer tray. 13 inch round. 30's vintage. Nice example, but not as clean as photo depicts. These old black trays are really hard to find completely clean. There is some light scuffing in the black background not seen in the photo. You should be pleased if not...
Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co., Milwaukee, WI
Erlanger Classic 1893 beer tray. 13 1/4 x 10 3/4 inch. I "think" this is from the late 70's. Heavy metal tray in really nice shape, both front and back.
Anheuser-Busch, Inc., St. Louis, MO
Budweiser Girl beer tray. 10 1/2 x 12 3/4 inch oval. Nice quality, A-B tray dated 1974. Super shape. Has remains of 2-sided tape on the backside.

Style: B-14. 2-sided. Country Club & Goetz Bottle Cap on front. M. K. Goetz - Brewing Co - St. Joseph, Mo on back. Has some darkening areas, but no rust. Quite a bit nicer than it appears in the photo. I think this is Pre-prohibition.
Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co., Chippewa Falls, WI
Leinie's Amber Light beer figural canoe; 13 1/2 inch, 2-sided, decal on painted composition. Nice metalic blue finish. This brew seems to be harder to get for these canoe taps. Unused.
Seagrams Whiskey
Matchbook Holder - Vintage, plastic bowl used on the bar to hold matchbooks for patrons. Made by Claremould Plastics Company of Newark. Larger lettering says "Say Seagrams and be Sure". Bowl is 5 1/2 inchs in diameter and it stands 3 1/8 inches high. Real nice shape.

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.
