    Unique glassware, memorabilia, barware, signage, neons, tap handles - anything goes!

    I want to see the coolest of the cool, the gnarliest of the gnarly, the apex of the latex, the supperating monkeys of lackey imperialistic capitalism - the best stuff you have that you want to show off to which under normal curcumstances you don't have the opportunity to do so.

    I'll start this up with my Dogfish mini neon. Great color, and the perfect hallway nightlight. A gift from Sam himself after going to Delaware for work.

    Nothin', I got nothin'! Just a bunch of growlers, glassware, and bottle caps I have nothing creative to do with.

    Does my 2 sided Moose bottle opener count?

    Used to have a nice Zima bottlecap neon sign but my cousin broke it during a night of rough sleep by tossing and turning while sleeping on the floor. (I had it leaning against the wall, didn't have it up yet) This was college era. I love tacky stuff, haven't owned anything that cherished in a while.

    Other than that, I have some Brouwerij West prints in frames on the wall (see, I'm classy now!) and a Wild Turkey neon sign that I can't find a picture of.

    Oh, and a sh'ton of boxes for trading. Basically an entire room devoted to boxes! hahaha :/

    i have some vintage signs, including this one which is my prized possession (not my actual sign, don't have pic at moment). it's one of those optical illusion ones where it looks like the water is flowing

    I've got a platter from the old brewery in Du Bois PA and a set of 12 tasting-sized AB glasses. Yes the platter is dirty but I got it from my grandparents house after they both passed and I've been hesitant to clean it since it's old and I don't want to risk damaging it.

    Had a stang from Fruh Kolsh in Koln when I went there as an exchange student...until I moved two years ago and it ended up in shards.

    Also had a 70's era Ballantine Ale bottle opener in college (93-97) but that was until I moved....two years ago.......I think I may have made the wrong choice in movers :slight_frown:

    Wow... that sux. In retrospect, yeah I think you might have gotten crappy movers. That's why I always moved myself. Sure I was a crappy mover too, but nothing ever went missing and the 'important' stuff never got broken because I always over packed the crap out of it.

    [​IMG] I've got hundreds of old and new cool beer things but l decided to post this, which may or may not even qualify as either cool or unique, but l've never seen another one. Ever seen a beer-branded CD opener before? Yes, a CD opener! I suppose it would be cooler if it was an LP opener these days.
