My friend Steve and I met via ebay.I sold him a sign and he picked it up in person. I had no idea how many Hamm's beer items he actually had until I made the visit to the "bear's den" The scope and variety is staggering. Many people think his garage is his collection...nope. Theres another room,and then another room,and finally...a third room.
Amongst all this Hamm's stuff are 12 fully restored juke boxes.All filled with 45 records from different eras. Did I mention the muscle cars? He's a mechanic,and is "fastidious" about his many collectibles. To visit Steve's house is an event in itself. He is a firefighter, trivia buff (in music-you don't stand a chance) mechanic, Hamm's collector of 30+ years and jukebox restorer extraordinaire.
Yeah,its worth the trip.This is the proverbial "tip of the iceberg" of the items he has.
Holy mother of beer...I am guessing he is in MN? Does he sell? What's his address? :P
Vikingfan-sheesh,you are all OVER my posts-haha.I have plenty myself. oldbeer at gmail.com is the easiest way. Name your wants and budgets-you'll be treated with respect and beery goodness.
Haha, I love old beer myself. Ok will do! I am going to see my dad up north. He is a city administrator up there and just took over a bar. The city is selling all its old contents. I am hoping to pick up something good. Clocks, beer signs.

I have a Sasha ceramic liquor decanter (the head comes off). It is from 1972. Would you have any idea of what that may be worth?
