I collect all old things BEER/ALE related from Seattle (and other Northwest locations too). Seattle is one of the top craft brewing cities (which is great!), but I collect pre-1980 items like beer cans, bottles, tin signs, neon and other lighted signs, coasters, calendars, trays, tip trays, labels, case boxes, crowns, match safes, etc.
Here are some of the older Seattle breweries and their brands that I am interested in:
Seattle Brewing & Malting Co / Albert Braun / Sicks' Century Brewing:
-- Rainier, Rheinlander, Emil Sick's Select, Sicks' Select, Brew 66, Rainier Ale, Rainier Bock
Hemrich Brewing Co
-- Happy Peppy
Horluck Brewing Co:
-- Horluck's Vienna Style Beer, Horluck's Fire Brewed Beer
Independent Brewing Co
Bay View Brewing / Apex Brewing Co:
-- Rainier Beer, Apex Beer, Apex Ale, Rainier Lime Rickey
Pilsener Brewing Co:
-- Snowcap Pilsener Beer
Claussen & Sweeney
Spellmire-West Brewing Co / Washington Brewing Co
Standard Brewing / Claussen Brewing Association / Tannhaeuser Brewery
Century Brewing Association / Sicks' Seattle Brewing & Malting / Sicks' Rainier:
-- Rainier Beer, Highlander, Rheinlander, Rainier Ale, Spur Malt Liquor, Rainier Bold ML
Old beer cans, bottles, crowns, and other goodies can be found anywhere! Check your attics, crawl spaces, walls (whenever remodeling), under decks. Always looking for Heidelberg, Rainier, Rheinlander, Horluck's, Hop Gold, Bohemian Club, Silver Springs, Town Club, Golden Age, Martin's, Gilt Top, and any other WA/OR/CA brand too. I also save Sunny Jim soda and Crescent spice/coffee tins. I'd love to find any AMOCAT or West Coast Grocers items from Tacoma too. Old Coors, Pabst, Schlitz, Budweiser, Blitz, Lucky Lager, Oldstyle, De Luxe, Burgermeister, Brew 102, and Miller items welcomed too. Please contact me. Thank you.
