Our Collection
 Departing from our usual breweriana collection display, we're going down a slightly different road with these wonderful, ceramic syrup dispensers that were found in most every soda fountain back bar in the earlier part of the 19th century. Just like everythig else, they attempted to capture the eye of the consumer by featuring different styles, shapes, and colors - along with a plethora of brand names - in the hopes of securing a sale. Many were lost to time due to they're fragile nature but many also survived because of their inherent beauty that lasted long after they ceased to be a functional part of the neighborhood soda shop. We like them and try to procur them from time to time - they're more of a secondary collection than anything else - but we hope you enjoy the pictures of our small dispenser family.






















As you can tell, we're pretty serious about this stuff -- but we're always on the prowl for more! Our interests lie primarily in the areas of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana pre-1960 breweriana items. But, as can be attested to by our site, we collect pieces from all over as well as some soda, distillery, and cigar items - so don't let the absence of a particular item type or area stop you from writing us at brewmaster@yeoldebrew.com with questions about items from other advertising categories or U.S. locales.
