IF THAT WASN’ T ENOUGH FOR RARE NEW ULM PIECES. THE HAUENSTEIN MOTION SIGN WITH THE LITTLE CHARACTER SWINGING HIS HAMMER COMES UP ON EBAY. BORDER BATCH MEMBERS WATCHED WITH BAITED BREATH AS THIS SIGN HIT A RECORD HIGH JUST OVER FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS.
THE GLENN MILLER AUCTION IN TOMAH WISCONSIN ALSO PRODUCED SOME COOL PIECES INCLUDING THIS LOT OF NEW ULM PIECES INCLUDING THIS NINETEEN FORTY-TWO NEWSPAPER BOY EMBOSSOMATIC CARDBOARD SIGN WHICH BROUGHT THREE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FOR THE LOT.
A HAMM’ S NEON ADVERTISING BOTTLES AND CANS WHICH I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE BROUGHT SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. AND I’ M PROUD TO SAY IT’ S BEEN ADDED TO MY COLLECTION.
AND FINALLY JUST BEFORE WE GO TO PRODUCTION ON THIS SHOW A RARE GRAIN BELT SALES-CASTER IS PICKED BY MY PARTNER AT I-BUY-OLD-BEER-DOT- COM, BARRY TRAVIS. IT HAS FOUND A NEW HOME AT A FRIENDLY TAVERN ON A RIDGE IN IOWA FOR THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
THOSE ARE SOME FANTASTIC PIECES OF BREWERIANA THAT HAVE SURFACED AND SOME LANDED IN THE COLLECTIONS OF AREA COLLECTORS. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A GREAT PIECE OF BREWING HISTORY MAY COME YOUR WAY. UNTIL NEXT TIME HAPPY COLLECTING! STEVE #
