At
Breweriana Collector's Store I pride myself in providing a wide
variety of breweriana collectibles and beverage memorabilia including,
but not limited to, Cone Tops, Flat Tops, Pull Tabs, Foreign cans,
and starter collections, at reasonable prices. I also have a huge
selection of Patches, Trays, Signs, Mirrors, Openers, Tap Handles,
and Labels. Outside of beer cans and brewery items, I have various
other collectibles such as Glassware, Soda Cans and Lighted Signs.
I cater to both the advanced collector as well as the beginner,
offering items as little as $2.00 to items in the $2000.00 range.
My
name is George Shaw and I've been collecting and distributing brewery
items for nearly 30 years, working out of my home and garage in
Beltsville, MD. Leaving the Library of Congress in 1977, I decided
to start this business with the goal of providing all people with
a means to start or expand a fun, exciting, interesting, and affordable
hobby...Beer Can Collecting! In addition, collecting these items
can be quite profitable and adventurous. For example, a lot of collectors
will frequent flea markets, yard sales and garage sales, where occasionally
you may pick up an item for very little money. When you get home
and research the item, you may find it to be worth quite a bit more
than you paid...sort of like a treasure hunt. Besides collecting
brewery items, there are other areas you may want to venture into,
such as becoming a distributor, a retailer, an appraiser, opening
your own store or shop, or a show hopper. You may also consider
holding or organizing your own show, starting a local collector's
club or just setting up a very nice display to impress your family
and friends.
During
my time in the business, I have met some very interesting and wonderful
people of all ages, from all over. I have even established and maintained
some solid friendships with people I have encountered at beer can
and breweriana shows, through mail correspondence and over the internet.
Venturing into this world, you will establish a bond with other
collectors, whether it's through the love of the many different
can designs, the excitement of acquiring rare brewery or soda item,
or just sharing stories with the folks you meet along the way. Even
if you decide to stop collecting, the worst thing would happen is
you've made some new friends. Through the years, most people I have
met are friendly, kind, courteous, honest, and more than willing
to share information about breweriana collecting. All in all, this
is a wonderful realm for both the casual hobbiest and the avid collector.
A realm where people from all demographics enjoy and have something
in common...brewery memorabilia collecting. Thank you for visiting
and please come back often. I am frequently adding new items.
