Kaier’s Beer Matchstick Holder
Here is a Kaier Beer Match Holder from the Chas. D. Kaier Company Ltd. (also known as the Chas. D. Kaier Brewing Company) located in Mahanoy City, PA. This Kaier Beer Match Holder is pre-1920s era and is in very good condition considering how old it is.
This match holder was made by the H.D. Beach Company located in Coshocton, OH. Promotional products like these would have been given to patrons and brewery employees to display at home on the wall near their fireplace and were an advertising piece for Kaier Beer, Ale, and Porter.
Brass Glennon’s Beer Sign
Here is a Glennon’s Beer Brass Sign from the Jos. H. Glennon’s Brewing Company located in Pittston, PA. This pre-prohibition Glennon’s Beer Sign is from the early 1900’s era and is in very good condition for it’s age.
It is approximately 26″ wide by 14" high and is made of heavy brass with stamped lettering. Signs like these would have been displayed on the side of a tavern or saloon to advertise Glennon’s Beer to patrons. During the time, brass was the ideal metal of choice for outdoor advertising signs in that it would not weather or rust.
Birkenstock Brewers Lunch Pail
Here is a Birkenstock Brewers Lunch Pail from the John Birkenstock, Sunrise & Sunset Brewing Company located in Allentown, PA. This pre-prohibition era Birkenstock Brewers Lunch Pail is from between 1890 and 1898 and is in excellent condition considering how old it is.
It is about the size of a standard lunch kettle and is made of tin with an embossed lid. The Embossing on the lid reads “Compliments of John Birkenstock Brewer & Bottler Allentown, PA”.
Lunch pails like this one were basically the working man’s lunch kettle from back in the day and would have also served as a beer growler to transport beer back home; click here to check out my blog article about the Evolution of the Beer Growler from what was once just a lunch pail for the working class.
Elk Brewery Bench
Condition: Fair
Era: Pre-Prohibition
Brewery: Elk Brewing Company
Location: Punxsutawney, PA
Note: This item came from a descendant of a brewery employee who worked at the Elk Brewery. Our guess is that he or the brewery marked the bench for ownership. If's a unique piece with a great story, it has a "folk art" feel to it in someways too.
