    Appears to be made from copper. Want to know something about it and where to find out what it may be worth. Thanks!

      So this company name only was in operation for four years, 1934-1938 (The family operated breweries under their name from the late 1800's) ending the Schemm brand when it closed.

      Now the first kegs, as in metal, were invented and used in 1936. So this may very well be one of the first metal kegs used in the U.S. and it may be an extremely rare item, especially having survived the war metal drives.

      Great find,
