I came across your page while trying to figure out where my leather Delta Brewing Company Escanaba Michigan key and picture holder came from. It looked like new, but I don't think it ever saw the sun or use. I bought it at an estate sale awhile back.

I am very interested in locating items or further information regarding the Kolb Bros. Brewing Co. (aka Salzburg Brewery)which was located in Bay City, Michigan. My Great-Grandfather, George Kolb Sr. purchased the Salzburg Brewery in 1867. My Great-Uncles, George Kolb Jr. and Adam Kolb took over in 1888. The brewery was in operation by the Kolb family until it closed in 1939. ( with the exception of 1919 thru 1933 when they converted the brewery to a soda factory called Kolb Cerola Co during prohibition). I am very interested in finding out more about my family history...any Kolb's or Schroeder's out there? (My Grandmother, Margaret Kolb, married Frederick A. Schroeder)..........Thanks for your help!

The bottle was without marks except for the words "Bosch, Houghton, Michigan" engraved at the bottom. Did a search this afternoon and found a link that directed me to your site. It appears the bottle was their "Superior" bottle (versus the smaller "gilt-edged." Interesting. Any more information or helpful websites would be appreciated. Thanks for the information! -John

I just thought I would drop you a note. On Saturday, July 26, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. there is an auction in Greenville, WI at N1820 North Rd. This auction will feature 2 generations of bottle collecting from a family that has a liquor store in Appleton, WI. There are hundreds of beer bottles that include over 150 bottles with embossed lettering according to the owner. There are also old wood beer cases and many more liquor collectibles. Should prove to be and interesting auction. Perhaps you know someone who may be interested.

I was pleasantly suprised to find information on the Von Brewing Company. I have an original VON BREWING COMPANY wooden beer barrel from the 30ties. My parents bought a bar in the 50ties from a gentleman whose bar was called DINTYS TAVERN. He lived right behind the bar and had an old two story barn/garage. In the 90ties I bought his old home and barn. In the top of the barn was this old wooden beer barrel with Von Brewing Company engraved in the barrel. It has very heavy duty iron rings to hold it together. They appear to be almost 1/8 inch thick and 2 1/2 inches wide. The barrel stands 24 1/2 inches tall, top and bottom is 15 inches across and a circumference around the middle of 66 inches. It is in good to excellent shape with some dry cracks in the wooden staves but do not appear to go all the way through. I have been looking for information to include in selling it on E-Bay in the near future. If you have any other links or interest in this item please feel free to contact me. Thank you for a great site. Darwin Benjamin

Hello! I think that your site is wonderful! I was looking for info about Frankenmuth Brewery...I understand that the brewery was destroyed a few years back, but do not know if they have continued operation or plan to continue operation in the future. Could you, or any of your visitors please send me an email with news about Frankenmuth? Thank You! AJ (safeharbor@netzero.net)

I have found a copper mug, (I know it is copper because on the bottom it says solid copper,)that says tivoli brewing company on it. My grandma found it when she was by the lake. I was wondering if you could tell me something about it. It has the tivoli emblem on it. It is the one with the belt that says tivoli brewing company on it, it has a crown with the date up above it. I was wondering if it had any value? If you have any iformation I would appreceiate it if you could e-mail me and tell me the information. Thank-you, Nikki

Great Site! My great-great grandfather (Wolfgang Reindl) was president of the Menominee River Brewing Company and my great-grandfather (John G. Reindl)was brewmaster. I have been collecting items from the brewery's history over the past few years and have several original photos, a beer tray with the names of the beers and a picture of the factory and quite a few bottles. I also have the brewmaster's store chest, which according to my grandfather once contained the brewmaster's equipment and recipes. Sadly they are lost. I'd love to chat with anyone that has any information regarding the brewery. I can perhaps share some good stories of my own, including the "true" story behind the "Boy with Leaking Boot" statue. I can be contacted by e-mail at tharding@kettering.edu.

Hello !

I was born and raised in Menominee, Michigan. I am an avid follower of the old Menominee Breweries. Some of the other brands were Menominee Champion, found in an orange cone top. I believed it was brewed until the mid late 30's and Old Craft. Old Craft was later brewed by Oconto. Also, Big Mac, brewed for the opening of the Mackinac Bridge in the 1950's. There were actually 2 breweries in Menominee. One was later converted into a furniture plant in the 40's. The current Henes and Liesen was razed after a fire in 1966. I remember the ash and soot floating in the air anround my house which was about 2 miles away. The only existing building is the grain office and stable barn. It houses I beleive a title company or lawyer's office. The actual brewery site now has an apartment building on it. The main office is also there. At one time, it housed Christensen Heating and Cooling. The original statue in front of the brewery "The Boy With The Leaky Boot" now stands in the Stephenson Library. I have several cans, bottles, beer caps and cases from that brewery. Some of the older taverns in Menominee still have some promotional items hanging.Needless to say, they would not part with them. I hope this is some use or interest to you. My mind is full of inane Menominee, Michigan history. Best Wishes to you and your endeavors. May I hear from you? Andy Bilodeau

In the mid fiftys I received a beer stein from a family friend who stated that it belonged to his relatives several generations back. I was told that his relatives came to the USA from Europe and settled in the upper middle states; owned a brewery and each of the brothers or sons had a stein from which they drank their beer at dinner time. The steins were keep in the basement to keep cool. They are approx. 10" high , 3-4" wide, coloured prussian blue and grey with Germain inscriptions and a pewter cone shaped lid. I believe it is marked as a 1 litre stein. Unfortunately, their are no markings or symbols on the bottom; which makes me wonder. Is it really as old as I have been made to believe? I was not given the name of the original family; however the name of the person giving me the stein is John Alder. He claims, on the note that he gave me, that his ancestor was the first person to travel the length of the Mississippi river out to the open ocean in a very large yacht . I am interested in the authenticity of this stein and if it has any value. As an aside, I have wondered if his last name is a spinoff or modification of Altes or some other brewery. Sorry about the size but thought I should give as much info as possible.

Thanks again,

I would like to obtain additional information on the Ekhardt & Becker Brewing Co. I have been collecting geneology information from my family for the past 20 years, and according to my information the brewery was started in 1868 by my great grandfather, Herman William Becker in 1870, several years after coming here from Germany with his three brothers. His brother, Louis Becker, became involved with the brewery after marrying Matilda Ekhardt.

I understand Peter Blum has published a book "Brewed in Detroit", which has information on this company. I would like to get in contact with him. My e-mail address is above. I live in Silver Spring, but grew up in Detroit.

As a amatuer I was looking for information on Petersen Brewing in Grand Rapids, and found some! -Thanks I also know of a picture (I think it is a newpaper picture) that shows a very "loaded" beer delivery truck. Not sure if you would be interested, or even if I can copy it for you, but I got it from the Grand Rapids library.

Also, do you know of anyone who would want to sell a Petersen Brewing bottle?

My wife and I have recently bought some property in Butler Co., PA. During a walk in the woods, we discovered a bottle from Victor Brewing Co. of Jeannette, PA. (PA-U-337). Where could we get more info to determine the approximate age of the bottle, ie. where was the plant and when did they go out of business?

As a beer label collector I find this site a valuable resource for researching old American labels. Keep up the good work.

I am so glad that I found this sight. My fathers aunt was married to Gustave Darmstaetter and my father's middle name was Gus for him and we the family have been searching for some Info on them. I have a picture of their home, in Detroit. My father was in the U.S. Cavalry stationed in Detroit and visited them every Sunday afternoon. Is there any way we could get some more info on them from you or could you direct us to someone else who could Thank you. Mrs. Darmstaetter was a McTavish

I had no idea of the size of Fox Deluxe. I have a question. Was there ever a brewery location in Indiana? I bought a badge with the lettering: "Special Deputy Sheriff Fox Deluxe BWG. Ind." It surrounds the Indiana state seal. Any information would be helpful. Thanks, Dave Lain

Enjoy your site. I have a 22x28 framed lithograph of the Goebel Gold Label Beer Company featuring a team of 6 Clydesdale horses (Goebel's famous grand champion clydesdale 6 horse hitch). This lithograph has the Lansing Capitol in the background. It also shows the team of horses pulling a wagon carrying Goebel beer being driven by two men in their white uniforms. If anyone is interested in purchasing, please contact me. Thank you.
