The M. Matthew Schmich & Co. Wm. Huber Brewery began in 1888 and ceased operations sometime around 1895 meaning it was open for approximately 7 years. This brewery was open for quite a few years so it is easier to find items and advertising than some breweries that did not last long, this can make the Breweriana items less valuable. As a Pre-Prohibition Brewery, any advertising items or collectibles are likely to be valuable and desirable to collectors as they tend to be hard to find. M. Matthew Schmich & Co. Wm. Huber Brewery was located in Freeport, IL, which only had 5 breweries, so there are not many that that were producing breweriana items. Local collectors may pay a small premium over national or general collectors because of a lack of local items.
- Address Information: 4/20 East Stephenson St northside at river
