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.

On the front it displays the text “Yuenglings Beer Porter Ale Pottsville, PA”. While on the back there is an eagle insignia representing the brewery’s logo with a Latin phase “E Pluribus Unum” which translates to “Out of Many, One” which is also the motto of the United States suggested on July 4, 1776.

Continental Scotch Ale Sign
Here is a Continental Scotch Ale Sign from the Continental Brewing Company located in Philadelphia, PA. This pre-prohibition era Continental Scotch Ale Sign is from the early 1900s era and is in excellent condition considering how old it is.
It is approximately 12″ by 16″ and is made of metal with lithography printed graphics. The graphics depict a patriot soldier at camp with a large labeled bottle of Continental Scotch Ale. Originally, this sign would have been displayed in a wooden frame. Signs like these would have been displayed inside of a tavern to advertising Continental Brewing Company products including beer, ale, and porter along with other styles too.
Update: This sign has recently been custom framed for display; updated images will be added to the page shortly.
