B. H. Gangwisch & John L. Straub Brewery – PA 646d

B. H. Gangwisch & John L. Straub Brewery opened in 1887 and closed in 1891 it was open for 4 years. Breweries that are only open for a couple of years like this did not have a long time to produce advertising and collectibles so they tend to be more scarce than breweries with more longevity. 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. B. H. Gangwisch & John L. Straub Brewery was in an active brewing city. Pittsburgh, PA was listed as having 61 breweries, which is quite a few. Sometimes a large number of breweries can lead to an active collecting community that will be willing to pay more for breweriana items than other collectors.

• Other Notes: vacant 5 years prior to this
