Estate Sale & Flea Market find

#1

Post by beerhunter14 »

Last weekend, I went to a Estate Sale and Flea Market. At the Estate Sale, I pick up Coors Light Halloween sign. I know this type of sign use in a liquor or grocery store as it point-of- purchase. I believe this sign was made in the early 1990. I would like to know more about it. I think there were a thread on this site discuss about Coors Light Halloween sign or was it Miller Lite Halloween sign ??
The Stag 12 pack box, Old photo, and matchbook found at a Flea Market. What unique about the Stag 12 pack box has the work Flat Top. Have some kind of liquor stamp on it and the price 1.79 for a 12 pack !! The old photo ,which it shown pre-pro Gentleman - Natural Process

I had the posts about the Miller Lite Halloween stand up. The Lite stuff was from 1990-ish.
Did Coors have a Halloween can?

kamsquared- Good question. I don't think Coors Light ever made in Halloween cans ?? Thank for showing your Miller Lite Halloween point of purchase sign. Now there is another Halloween point of purchase sign. It the one with a hot sexy Witch and her name is Elvira. I don't recall if it was under Miller Lite or Coors Light ?? Maybe both ???
Other things I would like to know , Which sign came out first ??? Miller Lite or Coors Light ??

What beer are they drinking in the cabinet card photograph?
Adam Heeb was active in Milwaukee circa 1880- that card could certainly be mid 1880s or so.

Well the blob top seems to fit with the late 1880s +/- time frame of when the photographer was known to be active.

The listing for him in Mautz' Pioneer Western Phtographers was ~1880. That's some nice looking dark beer there.... Hope that helps, Andy
