Nice ones, trail ::tu::

A couple of weeks ago I visited the Shiner Brewery in Shiner, TX. Picked up this 'brewery key' while I was there.

We used to use Church keys to open beer, do you think a beer key would open a Church?

G. Krueger brewed Ambassador Beer in Newark. The brewery closed in 1961.

Trail, if you show up on Sunday, they'll let you in and you won't even need a key. :mrgreen:

Better leave the beer in the car. :roll:

Tell me about your ZIPPO lighter.

Hey tj - the zippo in the scan is brass and one of their 1941 replica models. It's only a couple of years old.

Here are few that I have. These are local brewries in my area, Northern Kentucky. The Wiedemann Brewery was in Newport, Ky. and the Bavarian Brewery was in Covington, Ky.

This is interesting. I guess when I deleted photos from photobucket.com, it replaced the photos in my post with something else. Anyone else ever have this happen?

Tom,
When you post a link to a photo it pulls the image from that site.
If you change what is at the site, the pic changes.

The easy thing to do is download the pic to AAPK and you don't have to maintain the pics at another site.

Hers's an Honorary Budweiser Brewmaster key. It's a big ole thing - 6 3/4 inches overall.

Here are a few from my collection:
1st is a Bonsa folding knife w/cap lifter and folding church key.Only one I've ever seen.
2nd is a cap lifter on the end of a knife marked,"Marietta Torpedo Co" which made torpedoes for oil drilling rigs.Too long to explain.
3rs is one of the strangest knives I have ever seen:it has a straight edged blade with a guide(?)on the tip.Use unknown.It has a saw blade and a curved blade that only opens 90 degrees(sort of like an opium harvesting knife)and a folding cap lifter/church key on the top.No maker's name.
4th is a folding church key with fixed cap lifter.Very unusual.
5th is a Hickok bar tool that has a hammer/ice breaker with a cap lifter on the other end and a corkscrew inside the hammer head and a knife blade inside the other end.An olive fork and a martini stirrer complete the set which is inside a fitted leather case.
6th is a pair of cap lifter/church key combos with a matching ice pick.
