Re: Aurora Beer
Nice opener and in great condition. Must be an Illinois brewery, or Colorado? I think I have a few of those from Connecticut - but they are not advertising beer.
Wanted: Hartford Connecticut Breweriana for my collection.....

Re: Aurora Beer
@63cagedfalcon and @Ed Johnson There are a few alternatives.
I'd tend to lean towards it being from Crescent Brewery, IN

Re: Aurora Beer
It's ILLINOIS (used the tagline, "That Good Aurora Beer" and stylized small "a" with underline).
Tough to find ANY items from this brewery . . . Operated from 1890 to 1920; reopened after prohibition, but only lasted for another five (5) years (1934 - 1939).
