collecting vintage beer cans - brewerania

Many different people collect many different things, but if you want to collect beer cans, here are a few things you should know.  The first beer cans were used in the mid-1930’s by the Krueger Brewing Company. The beer can was more easily accepted in the United States than in Europe or other countries so European beer cans are harder to find, more desirable by the collector and thus higher priced than their American counterparts.

DUMB MIKEY

 

Mikey and his new girlfriend recently decided to purchase a farm in southern Virginia and with this farm they got a few head of cattle.  Noting that the cattle needed a little companionship, Mikey told his girl that he wanted to buy them a bull.  Knowing Mikey, his girlfriend told him, “Why don’t I go out and buy the bull.  When I find one, I will call you and you come on down with the trailer to pick him up.”  Mikey agrees and off she goes in search of a bull and she finally finds one in a remote ranch in North Carolina.

stolen art on ebay - josef mazur medallion

 

In the mid-1970’s four stained glass medallions depicting important Polish cultural figures, were stolen from the University of Buffalo, New York.  The medallions were painted and glazed by celebrated artist Josef Mazur in 1955 to hang in the Polish Collection Room of the Lockwood Memorial Library.  Of the four medallions stolen, one of Marie Sklodowska Curie, was recently found.  Where else, but on eBay.  A former university student perusing eBay for Mazur art found the medallion and immediately notified Jean Dickson, the curator of the Polish Collection at the University of Buffalo. Ms. Dickson contacted the eBay seller, Greg Lontkowski, who had inherited the medallion.  He graciously donated the medallion back to the collection.

There are many types of beer cans, from the flat top which is the most familiar to the people of our generation, to pull tabs and cone tops from the generations past.  Although collecting cans can be fun, one of the disadvantages is that they can take up a lot of space.  If you are a beer can collector or trader, check out the huge collection at:  www.beercansandsigns.com

history of heywood-wakefield furniture

In the mid-1820’s five brothers with the Heywood surname started a company of the same name and began producing simple chairs in their barn in Gardner, Massachusetts.  Their simple chairs became very popular and demand grew.  A few years later with business flourishing, the brothers branched out into other furniture.  As their business continued to grow, they acquired other smaller furniture companies, but no acquisition was as important as their 1897 acquisition of the Wakefield Rattan Company.  Thus, the Heywood-Wakefield Furniture Company was born.
