Breweriana: It's antiquing for beer lovers

Breweriana: Basically any interesting item containing the name of a brewery or a brand name of beer. It’s stuff that can range from cans to glasses to signs to trays and much more. 

On Saturday, a downtown Montgomery place known for brewing beer is hosting a show devoted to the history of it. The Bama Cannas have a free Spring Fling Beer Collectible Show from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. at Dreamland Bar-B-Que, 12 W. Jefferson St.

“We’re a club of what we call breweriana collectors,” Perry Paxton said. He’s the president of the Bama Cannas chapter of the Brewery Collectibles Club of America. “We collect anything to do with beer, really.”

Paxton’s a native of Iowa, or as he calls it “upper midwest beer country.” Growing up, he remembers beers like Hans, Grain Belt, Schmidt, Schlitz and Blatz. “Most of those are nothing but labels anymore,” he said. “The breweries have long since closed, and somebody else makes it.”

19th Century

The Curry & Paxton story begins in 1876 when Queen Victoria was perched on her throne and Great Britain was being steered again by Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli into an evermore growing liberal world. It was a period that had a growing sense of optimism that went on to further cement Britain’s dominance on a global scale and just so happened to coincide with the company’s rise as an industry leader.

Opera glasses formed part of Pickard & Curry's diverse creations

The company was originally founded by Joseph Pickard and William Curry under the name Pickard & Curry. Based at 195 Great Portland Street, London, it specialised in the design and manufacturing of ophthalmic instruments and parts, many of which were granted patents. It was the first company to develop in both sides of the optical trade, this being dispensing and manufacturing, and the diverse range of its creations was simply astounding. Today, we are proud to have a museum-worthy arsenal of archival instruments and parts to remind ourselves of our innovative and premium quality past.
