There are at least 5 wind tunnels left in America that have not yet been decommissioned. Stay tuned!

Though I never met him I sold him many cans and signs over the years. Had many good emails back and forth. We liked a lot of the same things. The hobby has lost a great one.

Here are photos of the Pilsen Brau box courtesy of John Hamel. You need a minty can to go with your box. Step up its from your home town.

Pretty cool for 60 year old cans in the neighborhood they were gilled. I never found San Jose stuff when I lived there until recently...

The Pacific Brewing Company Of San Francisco became Regal Amber in 1933.

Since my post on RB yesterday I have sold 3 and these guys are thrilled to own a sparkling example of this truly great can. Only 9 left for sale now.

Ok here is the story: A couple of pickers from the Sacramento area went to a private estate sale near San Francisco in November. They went in and found that prices were too high and eventually found their way to the attic. There was alot of boxes and even mice, they happened onto a box containing se...

Dan that Regal Amber sign is from their first year-1933 They were Regal Products when they started a few months before prohibition ended, and then they switched to Regal Amber Brew co.

I went to this dist with Burgie Dave probably around 1982. They still had burgie trucks in the back lot and had some burgie and burgermeister neons and other signs brand new in the box from the 50s up in their loft. Made a valuable connection with a long-time Lucky employee who once worked their.

Ed thanks for the taking the photos, posting and the nice comments, us Portland West Siders have an open invitation to anyone who comes to town. Great to finally have you guys over. Anytime...

Got a call from a guy setting up an estate sale locally from a former Oly distributor. Went to help him price the contents of his entire home, garage and basement/attic. There was alot of 1970's Hamm's, Oly and Coors stuff brand new in the box but he did have a bottle and can collection, no stunners...

I also have a Centennial Tray....

Its not legit, it has the 30's style SF rainier logo on an early 50s sign... The transparent part with the light shining thru would be
where the rainier word is....I found an acme one recently with a plastic front that is also prob. not legit.

30 years worth of collecting...It's Lucky When you Live in America....

The coors sign is worth about $3500 as is, it most likely is from the 40s and the Neon was blue and red, these were the mainstay colors for MOST neons of that era. By the late 40s they started to expand to more pastel colors by adding phosphorous to the tubes. I know where there is a SIERRA sign ver...

golden age blue lens lit.JPG I was lucky enough to get a craigslist lead on a Golden Age reverse on glass sign that was 250 miles away in Southern Oregon. I negotiated a VERY good price over the phone but the lady didn't want to ship it. I wanted to secure it before they received any other emails. ...

Its not like any beer sign anyone has ever seen. It is made by the Kriegel Company. Kriegel is the inventor of movie lights, he holds all the
patents on many of the Hollywood stage lights used to film outdoors at night. Patent is from 1929.

Pokey Who do you think owns this sign? Give you a hint-its in a mancave...better come see it....

Here is one for all you Grace Bros. Fans
I got this sign from John Burton of Santa Rosa. This Brew 52 neon came from an old grocery store owner in Santa Rosa, his store
was walking distance from the Grace Bros. Brewery...Only one I have ever seen....
