Beer and Baseball
 

Let's see everyone's beer or whiskey related stuff. Here's some mid century Cincy Redlegs goodies to start it off...

Here's mine, Chris. Circa 1940.
This piece is HUGE!

This is an advertising fan for Edelweiss Beer out of Chicago. It's from the late 1910s, right before Prohibition. They did a lot of advertising in the White Sox and Cubs programs of the same period as well.

And a Federal League Whiskey label.

He’s coming to town!.....for fifteen minutes. :p

decanter collector
 

Hiya Chris

I'm a decanter collector - so I have way more than anyone would want to see.

I will start with the one that got it all started. Cliff note: 1992 - antique store - cut a deal to add the decanter with a gift for Mary.

The Rockwell Beam is very common IMO.

1985 Jim Beam Cubs (comes in 3 variations no logo, logo on hat, logo on hat&uni)

This one is actually a store display - bottle goes in holder - Antique Bourbon

This is a favorite of mine - for the NY people.

Here's a few others...

The Pabst was picked up where card/sports collectors don't frequent - so it was like 20 bucks - a good buy IMO.

I'm a baseball game collector and found this oddball small game on eBay - never heard of PM Whiskey

Great idea for a thread, and nice to see lots of great pieces that fit the category. Here are a few of mine --

Great stuff fellas! Let's keep it going!

Ballantine Beer
 

First - the whiskey bottles are killer!

And, have always wanted the '55 Dodger display - superb. https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...409mgpb395.gif

Early 1950's Philadelphia Athletics. There's a companion figure, a Phillies pitcher, that I hope to add someday.

A couple of coasters from 1964, the year the Phillies blew the pennant.

The Man . . . from 1949,

KC Blues schedule and scorer .

These were given to players and front office members of the 1971 team. This one originated from the Bob Moose estate.

Wow! Looks like it was never worn. Hahaha! :p

neat! rare I get a share :-)
 

but here it is!

Falstaff, Krueger Ale and Cutty Sark.

The Day banner is about 3' x 5'.

Rob those illuminated signs are beautiful

Completely agree... Those are awesome, Rob!

Here are a few of my Beer-related pieces...

Few more...

The last one is Mike Schmidt's Trophy, as presented by Seagram's for being the best player in Baseball (one of the 7 Crowns of Sports). Sorry for the annoying sideways post. :o

My 1910 pocket schedule and mirror for the Phillies And Athletics. Bergdoll Brg. Co.

I love that Hudepohl sked.....takes me back to when a case of beer was a case of beer. Stacked, they made good coffee tables. :p

Man. You guys are knocking it out of the park. Awesome stuff!

A better look at the Falstaff "spinner." The dude is "The Old Pro," as shown on my ashtray.

Here are couple more - sorry for the glare. Also have the Blatz players/umpire one with 4 flags and the Cubs decanter - have to see which version as I didn't know there were 3. Gave all my Pabst ones to my son-in-law who collects Pabst. Did not show coasters or skeds.

One of the scarcest post-WWII issues is the 1948 Gunther Beer (brewed in Wash., DC) postcards:

Red Sox Beer Postcard

Orioles
 

Believe I pictured this Orioles Lowenbrau calendar in another thread (larger pic), but doesn’t hurt to repeat at times (unsure why my pic are so small nowadays...).

.

Really appreciate everyone's posts. Great looking stuff guys! Here's a couple Burger Beer calendars from 1960 featuring Waite Hoyt on the cover. One is complete and the other is disassembled to show the illustrations for each month of the year. Someone had already cut off the calendar portion when I got it but it made it easier to frame size wise...

Gunther is a “beery beer.” :p

Set of 4 postcards

Lots of great stuff here...

Nice piece Joe...

Always liked that image, and a very tough Ad Sign to find!

I like it too, but can't tell what it's advertising. :confused:

There must’ve been a Marathon Lager Beer back in the day??

Here’s a Forbes Field Duquesne Beer sign from inside the stadium and my uncut sheet of unrolled Iron city beer can for the 1979 World Series champions

Just sayin', this is a monster of a thread! Really cool posts by all... :cool:
