Attention Greg Theberge, Above a link to some photos I shot today at a small Beer Collectors show in Watsonville California. It was a frustrating show as the sellers set up so slow..I got there about 7:30AM and had to leave at 10:00AM...and lots of tables still weren't set up when I left. I didn't find any gotta have it sports pieces...and even the non-sport was tough (as is pretty much everywhere). However, I did see two pieces that stood out that you'll see in the batch. The one was a dynamite c1900 tin advertising tray for Spokane Brewing and Malting Co., featuring a co-ed beauty holding a pennant (unmarked), and titled College Widow. Price was jacked up around $3,600.00 as I recall..but quality. The other piece was a c1920 U.S. Skates (ice skates) tin sign, 17 3/4" w x 11 1/2" t, $375...but passed..nice but didn't hit the bell

Thanks for posting that Carlton! Looks like it was a pretty good show. I even see a RI beer tray in that bunch. I particularly like the turkey hat that fellow is wearing in one of the shots!


Thanks again.

Greg
