For the serious Lion Brewery collector.....The write-up also says they are auctioning off Lion Beer bottles but there is no separate listing in the catalog. There are however bunches of mystery boxes which will be sold. Not sure if any would have beer items in them from the Lion brewery.

From the auction write-up:
A once in a lifetime find! Fabulous Grandfather Clock from the Lion Brewery 1857-1944 of New York. This clock is dated 1888 and was given to the owner as a Christmas gift from his employees, being auctioned with original glass Lion Beer Bottles from the Lion Brewery. We are referring to this clock as the "Angel Clock" due to gold gilt carved cherubs and angel figures that adorn this magnificent clock. This clock also boasts fabulous weights and sun pendulum. Beautiful clock face. Shortly after immigrating to the USA, Swiss-German August Schmid and Emanuel Bernheimer founded the Costanz Brewery at East 4th Street near Avenue B in 1850. By 1852, they built a second Costanz Brewery at Four Corners in Staten Island, home to a large German community. Five years later, Bernheimer became the partner of another German immigrant, James Speyers and founded the Lion Brewery in 1857 in Manhattan Valley. A group of Catholic Bavarians helped build the Lion Brewery. When it was built, they held masses in the Brewery on Sunday mornings. The Lion Brewery once occupied a large area of Manhattan, spanning from 107th street to 109th street and from Ninth Avenue (now Columbus Avenue) to Central Park (6 city blocks) for almost 100 years. At one time the brewery included a park, hotel, brewery, malt house, ice houses, stables, workshops and private residences. The plaque reads: "Beinheimer and Schmid, Compliments of the Lion Brewery Office Employees, December 25th, 1988". We have never seen a clock like this one, possibly one of a kind!
