Bottle Collecting in the News -- BREWERIANA

Great article in today's Antique Trader e-newsletter about COLLECTING BREWERIANA.

It focuses on one brewery in particular: The Knapstein Brewery of New London, Wisconsin. The collection is a great example of the variety of "go-withs" that bottle collectors can add to their collections: counter statues, displays, trays, barrells, signs, cases, barrels, calendars -- the list goes on.

Just wanted to share this, as it is another example of bottle collecting making news, which is great for our hobby!

Find more BREWERIANA on the Collectors Weekly site, with articles, club links, and ebay listings, too.
