Early items can still be valuable as can rarer types of items. 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. Empire Brewery was in an active brewing city. Watertown, WI was listed as having 9 breweries, which is quite a few.
