JFO Completes 25 Years with Issue #100
It all started with one man’s dedication to opener collecting, Don Bull. In 1978 he
launched Just For Openers and within a short time had over 200 dedicated opener collectors. He spent five years as editor and was followed by Ed Kaye and Art Santen
who also each served five years. This completes my tenth year and hopefully I can
carry the torch another ten years. Don, Ed and Art have continued to bring great support to the club and I want especially to thank each of them for their devotion to the
hobby. Original members still active in JFO include, Don Bull, Alex Darocy, Duane
Dummer, Jack Ford, Ed Kaye, Herbert Haydock, George Lohmiller and Don
Sherman. Congratulations and another special thanks for your twenty-five years of
support. The Handbook has grown from 2,947 listings in 1978 to 15,123 for 2003. In
1978 there were 222 known types and by 1993 the number had grown to 1,032. JFO
has realized great growth over the years and with sources such as the JFO Auction and
eBay, members can continue to add to their collections. Thanks to all current members and please keep supporting Just For Openers.

San Francisco
A fairly tough opener to find, even for the west coast collectors. John Cartwright,
next year’s convention co-host, found mine the year after the last convention in San
Francisco. If you want to find one for your collection, plan on attending the 26th
Annual JFO Convention next April in San Francisco. Of course you can wait for one
to appear on eBay or in a JFO Auction, but you will be very old when one does.
————–——————–—2004 San Francisco—————–————
Convention registration is at the back of this issue. Early birds are welcomed to go
ahead and register with the hotel by calling the Holiday Inn Fisherman’s Wharf. The
dates are April 14-17, 2004 and toll free hotel number is 1-800-942-7348. Remember
to tell them you are with the Just For Openers group.
———————————ABA Opener Exchange—————————
Ernie Thoms volunteered to take over the ABA Opener Exchange for Dave Lendy.
You must be an ABA member. Ernie maintains a list of openers available. Any
openers you need off the list, he will send them to you and you send the same number
of openers back to Ernie (or you can donate additional openers). It is intended for use
by the beginning opener collector. Check the ABA membership ad on the club page.

Editor Buys Ed Kaye’s A-9 Collection
We went back and forth for a few months, but early in September I closed the deal with Ed Kaye to buy his A-9 Beer
Baseball Player opener collection. Ed had sold his non-beer A-9s on eBay and I had asked last spring if he started to
sell his beer A-9s to give me a shot at the whole collection. Ed had collected 37 of the 43 known beer A-9s. We settled on a price of $2,500.00 for the 37. Hopefully in the next few months I will add pictures of all of the beer A-9s I
now have to the JFO website. I had two malt ones that Ed did not have and two additional varieties he did not have,
so the collection now numbers 41. Check my want ad for the missing four. Thank you very much Ed for giving me
a chance to own this fine collection.
M-3 New Find !!! Standard Scranton Beer
Barry Hunsburger, a former JFO member, turned up this previously unknown, M-3 Standard Scranton Beer / The Best Beer
Brewed Is Brewed In Scranton. Barry has a fabulous collection of sliders and lives in a prime area for finding them,
Easton, Pa. When he started selling off his beer collection last
year, he said most buyers wanted to know one thing. “Was he
selling his slider collection?” Lithos worth several thousand
were on the market and Barry said most people wanted those
“sliders”. Great find Barry and continued good hunting.
Sandra Emme Elected President of FBOC (Figural Bottle Opener Club)
At the annual FBOC Convention July, Sandra Emme was elected President of the club. Best of luck to Sandra. Details about FBOC are in the Club Section and the color Identification Guide book is in the Sale Ad section.
Texas Yard Sale Yields Rare A-19-2 San Antonio
Jeb Burruss reported that at a late summer Texas yard sale, one of the local beer collectors bought a bag of junk
openers for $4. All junk except for one opener, an A-19-2 San Antonio alligator figural bottle opener. That was the
good news, the bad news Jeb did not get the opener. A local Lone Star ended up with the opener. It has been 20
years since I got a good opener at a yard sale. It has been 10 years since I went to one. Oh well.
Ken Hoesch Turns Up Another UL CBO
Kenny Hoesch bought ($79.99) the UL CBO
on the right on eBay this past quarter. Knife
style with very unusual handle outline. Ad
says “FM. Howell & Co. Cigar Boxes and
Labels Elmira, N. Y. Nice find Kenny.
Neat A-35 Missed on eBay
Somehow I missed this one. I have several beer
A-35s, but the ad on this one is super neat.
“Comps. of Witch City Bottling Works, Inc. Salem, Mass.” The buyer was a serious Salem,
Mass collector so who knows how high they
would have gone (sold for a measly $15).
Start planning now for the 2004 JFO Convention in San Francisco, the 1998
was a great convention, don’t miss out, enjoy the comraderie, openers and
general fun time enjoyed by everyone attending. (Ollie Hibbeler: Be There!!!)

25 Years of Just For Openers by Don Bull
April 2003
Opener Collectors and Friends,
him when he decided to part with his amazing collection
of corkscrews.
Twenty-five years ago several opener collectors and their
spouses gathered in Trumbull, Connecticut for the first
annual meeting of Just for Openers. Art Santen had flown
in from St.Louis. Don Fehr and his son arrived in an RV
filled with openers. And Tom and Judy Lothridge arrived
on Friday evening. On Saturday Len and Gladys Carpenter arrived to bring our merry band to nine.
The quarterly newsletter was the tie that we all had and
HAVE had for twenty-five years. In 1984, Ed Kaye
“volunteered” to edit and publish JFO. THANK YOU
ED! Ed Kaye did a wonderful job on JFO for the next
five years.
Just for Openers was conceived with the January 1979
issue of JFO and the birth of our club –a club without
rules – took place on the floor of the basement of the Bull
house in April. Since then it has been a remarkable
twenty-five year ride.
In our 11th year Art Santen took over the reigns of JFO
and published marvelous issues for the next five years.
During his first year we went to Frankenmuth, Michigan
….. was Herb strumming a Ukelele in those days? …..
Was Camille doing caketops? …… And why are the
other hosts, Lehr and Joan, always smiling?
By October of that first year JFO had 205 subscribers and
by early April of 1980, a number of them were packing
their bags for the Hazelwood, Missouri meeting to be
hosted by Ollie “Ollie Sez” Hibbeler. One of the most
memorable evenings of that weekend included a wonderful pizza and beer dinner at Talayna’s and then went off
to see Art’s tiny collection of 5000+ openers!
In 1990 we got a taste of the South in Durham, North
Carolina for John Stanley’s meeting ….. what a grand
evening that was when we had dinner at the Angus Barn!
We liked it so much that we went back to North Carolina
the following year ….thanks to John and his co-host
Roger Jarrell. We stayed in the South the next year …
The third meeting – again in St. Louis - was hosted by
Bob Chapman. Collectors from eight states showed up.
There were more openers than ever and more treasures to
take home. Art was busily working on the second 5000.
Kentucky is the South, isn’t it? Tom Zruno - another we
truly miss - gave us a grand meeting. It was back to Kentucky in 1993 by invitation of the Haydocks. If you never
got a chance to see the museum filled with their breweriana, you missed something you would remember forever.
The meeting moved to Indianapolis for the next two
years. Those meetings were hosted by corkscrew collector Joe Balaban. Remember Joe? God! - how we missed
Now….now…. we got the young guy in there – full of
energy and ready to take on the JFO newsletter. John

Stanley was our man ….. and now you can’t take that
away from him! We’ve seen ten fantastic years with John
…. and Pat! and we’re sure he’s ready to continue for
another ten. Thank you John! Keep those newsletters
coming – you know the first thing I read is Pat’s Spouses
Corner. John, you are getting better all the time – soon
you’ll give Pat some stiff writing competition!
In 1994 Ben Hoffman brought us our first meeting in
Pennsylvania. Hey Ben, wasn’t it you who got my Kaier

about that recent ebay sale at $1245.00??? In 1995 Don

Missouri – this time to St. Joseph.

And have you ever seen an opener collector that couldn’t
possibly use all those can openers in a lifetime? ………
What does Joe Young keep under that hat?
And how does Mark Benjamin continue to turn up all that

Is Harold Queen here with his “Boots” – aren’t they a

Hey, Harriet and Sandra – it’s OK for girls to collect
openers too! Love ya’ both!
I remember Leon Beebe, Joe Cardone, and Phil Fouch.
Great guys….And how about those huge displays Dick
Norm Jay and Bob Stahly brought us back to Chicago in Britton exhibited at meetings? ….. And let’s remember
1996. We found new homes in Buffalo, New York (Mark the buckets of rusty openers our friend John Horn brought

you all. Have a safe journey home.
Last year, Larry Moter hosted a terrific meeting in Fred- Don Bull April 2003
ericksburg, Virginia – ah, I love Virginia!
And that brings us up to this, our 25th Annual Meeting.
And this ISN’T just a meeting about openers and corkscrews. It’s not just a swap meet for those objects. None
of our meetings have been that. They have been a helluva
lot more……….
JFO is about the friendships we all built up over the
years. There are so many people that we lost along the
way ….. I’ve named a number of them already ….. but
we can take solace in those that we still have. These are
lifelong friendships folks – and don’t you forget it. Let us
be thankful for JFO editors Ed Kaye, Art Santen, John
Stanley and all of the meeting hosts and hostesses who
have kept us all together and will keep us together for
years to come.
I’m almost done. And I haven’t forgotten that this is the
only group I’ve ever belonged to where a couple has the
same name – well almost, Verne and LaVerne. Hey, what

years.

Spouse’s Corner
By Pat Stanley, the Editor’s Spouse
While thousands of people deal with the destruction of hurricane Isabel, we feel very fortunate to have been left untouched. The few small branches scattered in our yard await me after I compose my contribution to the JFO newsletter.
Once again I have been reminiscing through a year of issues, 1995. It was a fun step back in time.
A C-13-UL, “Sportmen’s Beer” advertising Galeton Beer that Norm Jay acquired was pictured in the January issue.
Openers and breweriana from Schwarzenbach Brewing Company or Galeton Brewing Company of Galeton, Pa. is of
special interest to John Hall. His history about the brewing industry in Galeton added the dimension that makes this
hobby so interesting.
In 1858, Joseph Schwarzenbach, a German immigrant from Bavaria, Germany opened a brewery in Germania, Pa
that operated there until 1901. It reopened in Galeton in 1902 where it had better access to the railroad.
A firemen’s convention held in Galeton in 1907 was called the Mardi-Gras of the North. The Schwarzenbach Brewing Company had an open house featuring the special brew for the event, “Firemen’s Brew”. It was a memorable
event.
Prohibition in 1920 forced the brewery to close for a short time only to open in 1921 to manufacture soda pop, ice
cream and ice. This was a cover for the beer shipped out in boxcars identified as containing potatoes.
The brewery was sold in 1927 and raided by Federal agents the next year. Beer was siphoned into Pine Creek though
long hoses. Half the population headed for the creek with anything that would hold some beer. What a day!
The brewery was sold again in 1933 upon the Repeal of Prohibition in 1933, but finally closed its doors in 1937,
forced under by larger breweries that had a corner on the market.
In the January issue, John told about one of his best hauls ever from a small antique show when sharing his visit to a
show in Liberty, NC about 25 miles from Chapel Hill. The rain was coming down hard and he was getting soaked,
“but for the love of opener collecting, he didn’t mind” as he picked through a large hatbox full of openers and corkscrews. Of the 100, he came home with 30 averaging a price of $2 each after going through pile twice. Such patience this red head has when it comes to openers.
At the Semi-Annual Charlotte Antique Extravaganza John found an item he had been looking for 15 years (other
than the wife it took him about that long to find), a Beer or Soda Kitchen Utensil Opener. He got the dealer to knock
two dollars off for a final price of $15.50. The lady seemed pleased that “he found something he likes”, but was
probably feeling some regrets when her eyes lit up reading “Coca Cola”. She just handed John his new acquisition
along with his change.
An article Dean Walters published in the Canadian Corkscrew Collector’s Club featured in the January JFO might be
one you would like to read again for it gave some hints on how to discern fabulous from fakery. The way you can
protect yourself from items of dubious distinction is knowledge and experience. Read books, look at advanced collections, take a close look at items, attend meetings (like JFO San Francisco 2004), talk to seasoned collectors and
dealers and develop a relationship of trust with dealers from whom you buy. Other information about the surface
patina authentic items have and the metals used to braze joints and seams in corkscrews was interesting and useful.
He ended with “Caveat emptor” (Buyer Beware) is as valuable an ancient adage as is the value of any quality antique. An ad for his latest quarterly Corkscrew Catalog followed the article.
25TH YEAR ISSUE
JUST FOR OPENERS OCTOBER 2003
PAGE 7
Spouse’s Corner (continued)
Four pages of Bill McKienzie’s drawings of E-9 with Rounded Heads and E-14s with Squared or Dipped Heads were
included in the January issue.
Various members submitted their suggestions for Cleaning Openers for this issue. John told a story where he cleaned
up an A-13 Car for Gary Deachman at a convention. It came out so nice that Gary wouldn’t trade it to John, so John
warns you not to clean an opener until after the trade!!
In an earlier issue John only soaked openers in Oxalic Acid for a few hours. In this issue he said that after lots of
experimenting he many times now “soaks” openers overnight if they are especially rusty. I didn’t know about his
process change for awhile and kept waking him up (since the night owl is up much later than the early bird who is
trying to catch openers) to tell him that he left an opener in the jar, fearing it would be completely dissolved by morning.
John always worries about collectors who live near salt water as the fight against rust is a full time job. Right now
we are worried about JFO member Mark Benjamin as Isabel’s path crossed their home on the coast of North Carolina. (Update: The openers are fine—oh, they are too. Lost their pier and was the extent of their damage.)
Spouse’s Corner featured Paulette Kutska’s response to my questionnaire about your spouses addiction to collecting
openers. She was the first in the marriage to collect, collecting button hooks, bookmarks and old books when he got
“hooked” on openers.
This summarizes the first 18 pages of the 56 pages in January 1995 issue. The other pages included the auction and
new additions.
Next is April 1995, compiled in the frenzy of excitement that the Annual JFO Convention to be held in St. Joseph,
Missouri is quickly approaching!
Bill McKienzie hadn’t been able to contribute to JFO for a couple of years due to health problems, but thanks to a
period of improved health, he sent in an extremely nice article on the Hund & Eger Bottling Company that distributed Goetz Country Club Beer.
St. Joseph is famous for being the starting point of the Pony Express, so the Goetz Brewing Company founded in
1859 chose the theme of a pony express rider and the slogan “Famous Since the Days of THE PONY EXPRESS” to
advertise their beer.
Don Whelan assisted with Bill’s article by researching the history of the Hund & Eger Bottling Company and sending pictures of openers in his collection and photocopies of ads from the city directories. Two great collectors, both
sorely missed by all the JFO family who had the privilege of knowing them.
The Hund & Eger Bottling Company is of special interest to both collectors of beer and soda advertising openers as
Seldom do you find a bottling company:

that had chosen such desirable and unusual types to advertise their business and products

Spouse’s Corner (continued)
Read the rest of the story of this company dating back to 1882 in the April 1995 issue, including the fact that they
became the agent for Schlitz probably having been made an offer they couldn’t refuse.
I remember April 1995 well, listening to John torment himself about going up $3 on the Annual JFO dues so he
could mail out the issues First Class. In this announcement John tells how his day is always brightened when another JFO member calls him. It’s a time to talk openers and more openers. Then they would tell him that they had
not received the newsletter he had mailed weeks before and his happy mood turned to solemn. He felt personally
responsible.
The results of the huge Bull Auction were published. 2,575 openers brought over $16,000. The high bid as $237 for
a B-19-49 Hajicek bought for the grandson of Hajicek.
Other memories of 1995 included the visit Ben and Cornelia Hoffman made with us in Mid-January, just as withdrawal from lack of antique shows brings collectors to their lowest point of the winter. Besides all the time spent in
John’s Opener Room, we did go to the Greensboro Flea Market.
I always remember one time I dropped John off there and went on to do some shopping of my own. It’s in a coliseum that is fenced in and has several gates. As my mind was on my plan, I did not pay attention to which gate. I
drove around and around upon my return and finally found him under a tree on this hot afternoon, not real happy
with me!!
The February Blue & Grey show in Fredericksburg, Virginia is another prescription for the winter blues and grey
clouds hovering from lack of new, old openers. (Ebay has helped remedy this affliction, perhaps almost cured it except for the huge need to see other collectors who re-enforce that there are others who understand the disease).
At the 17th Annual Blue & Grey show, Fil Graff and his wife Robbie were set up to sell his can and bottle collection
as Fil had just retired and they were leaving Chicago to moved to collectors paradise, Pennsylvannia.
We hopefully will see the JFO member highlighted in the April Spouse’s Corner when John and I head to San Francisco in mid-October and stay where the April 2004 Convention will be held….the one and only Jack Ford. I was
glad to meet Jack at the 1998 JFO Convention in San Francisco, the man who had cared for his wife who suffered
from the “horrible grips of Multiple Sclerosis” most of their married life. She was a serious collector herself and
their love of collecting gave them “many happy moments” during her lifetime. I still think of that article when I see
someone at a show in a wheelchair. Don’t glare at them if they block your way for a moment, they are there because
they love collecting too.
The April issue included a list of Vaughn Ads shown in the then 16 years of JFO and four pages of a circa 1937
Vaughan Catalog from the collection of Ben Hoffman.
Next the July issue, my favorite as it’s the JFO Convention Issue!! The best walk down memory lane!
Don and Cora Whelan hosted the first of two conventions they had for the club in St. Joseph, Missouri. There were
40 members at this great show including 8 first time attendees while 13 regular attendees were absent for various
reasons.
Ollie Hibbeler’s write up about the lunch at the landmark saloon, “The Bucket Shop” described one of the best times
ever perfectly. “The wagon train going there got lost at least twice. It made you wonder how the pioneers ever made
it West! About the third bucket of beer we were pleasantly surprised by the piano playing of one of our member’s

Some teasing aimed at Art Santen about JFP, “Just for Plastic” that John apologized for in the next issue
I especially enjoyed the Schlitz Article from the early 1900’s in Harper’s Magazine that was included in the July
JFO. The author who “began to gain a normal opinion” on beer through travel, after being raised where beer was
considered a veritable symbol of sin, went into great detail about the production of Schlitz beer. His doctor told him
that the malt and hops in beer were good for him as they were nerve foods and tonics and he needed them, but to get
pure beer – Schlitz beer.
For those M-3 Slide Out enthusiasts like Art Johnson, better go back to page 31 of the July issue to see price ranges
based on ratings of the number known, i.e. 1 to 5 known would bring $80-$100. Bet those prices are out of date
now!
Spouse’s Corner July 1995 honored Vic Keown. His wife Mary Ann described the JFO Convention as the Family
Reunion Type Convention. The reunion misses Vic and welcomes Mary Ann to come if she can.
Better move on to the October 1995 issue as this is getting quite lengthy even with me leaving out some notes I’ve
made.
I don’t remember reading one article in 1995 that I found very interesting in my review, hope you do too.
In one of the volumes of “The Canadian Brewerianist”, it was mentioned that a very rare bottle had been sighted in
Saskatchewan and so the ingenuity and persistence to track down this treasure, a rare Peerless Lager Beer bottle, began by Paul Wingate.
First he called Dick Sweet to find out who spotted it. A lucky start as Dick had spotted it in the town of Watrous,
population 2000. A newspaper ad wouldn’t work as no newspaper in this little town. Door to door inquiry didn’t
sound good at first, but as the love of the hunt took command, he made up 450 flyers and made a rainy drive with his
family and friends to Watrous one Labor Day weekend. It wasn’t raining there so the kids delivered flyers to all but
a couple of blocks of houses as they ran out of copies.
Then the wait began. A few calls about other bottles people had. After a month he started to accept that he had
missed the house or the owner was keeping the treasure. Over the next six months he had more or less given up on
it, but still considering another attempt. On April 27, 1995 his wife told him that some guy was on the phone about
bottles again. Paul even wrote down the name Peerless Lager Beer before anything sunk in. It now sits in his bottle
room where “it has always belonged”.
Spouse’s Corner collector honored was Art Santen as he had been on national television, but had not really made it

until featured in Spouse’s Corner. His wife Dorothy told about her father giving Art an Anheuser-Busch knife with
Spouse’s Corner (continued)
a peephole and Art was “captured and seduced by the hobby”. She doesn’t collect anything because there is no
room! Can’t dispute that!
John included articles about the ECBA Convention in Kingston, NY and the NABA Convention in Chattanooga, TN.
That was a busy year, as I went to both of these too.
We stopped in Stamford, Ct., the former home of Don and Bonnie Bull on they way back from Kingston. We ended
up driving straight home from there, with the night owl pulling the late shift. About 3 a.m. we made a stop at a busy
well-lit gas station. We were going to feed the car then cross a service road to a Hardee’s. I came out of the ladies
room and didn’t see John. Could not imagine that he would move the car over to Hardee’s and make me walk across
by myself and I knew our Yorkie, Cognac would never leave me. I looked over there and no John! As panic started
to take over, thinking John had been collector-napped, I started to go to the register to see if a red head had been in to
pay. Before totally embarrassing myself, I realized that gas pumps were on both sides of the station and I was looking on the wrong side. Some strong coffee and we made it home at 5 a.m. Does it surprise you to know that John
immediately started polishing openers he acquired on our journey?
And do I remember Chattanooga!! We did eat some great food there and I had fun selling American Breweries II
handbooks as John was too pre-occupied to do so. But the thing I remember most is this. I came back to our room
and found Harold Queen looking at a pile of openers on a towel I didn’t recognize. Not one of ours and not the hotels. John could have easily purchased a collection without my knowledge if he hadn’t brought it back from the
seller’s room in a towel thrown in with the “deal”.
The October issue had a great article on the Shrapnel Corkscrew and collector Robert Goldscheider. Some of the
quotes I liked in this article include:




The scholarship of corkscrews is a lot of fun
The admixture of collecting and technology appeals to Goldscheider
I love to see the evolution of corkscrews made by the same company
Goldscheider often spends evenings oiling the levers and polishing the silver, brass and steel…it’s very relaxing to bring them back to life.
Read the article to learn more and see some great pictures of Goldscheider’s favorites.
Then if your opener/corkscrew appetite is still hungry, check out the Cigar Box Openers and Cigar Cutter pictures
Bill McKienzie provided for our enjoyment, 10 pages of sketches and his last contribution to the JFO newsletter.
And so I conclude another Spouse’s Corner. John is watching his college football team play. I think I’m coming in
under the wire quite early.
There are four sounds in our home that let me know that John is home, the sound of his keyboard taking him on his
constant survey of eBay, clinking of openers, the polisher running in the garage, and sports!!
Looking Forward to a Preview of San Francisco this October
A recent eBay purchase (not cheap at $142.00) but I wanted it pretty bad.

“Opener and eBay Trivia”
Art Santen sent in an “Opener Trivia” question about
Tannhaeuser versus Tannhauser (No first E). On most
openers Tannhaeuser is used but a couple of breweries
did use Tannhauser. Those being Ohio Union from Columbus, Oh and Bergner & Engel from Philadelphia.
Several openers from the Philadelphia area have Tannhaeuser so we can only assume a rival brewer used that
spelling. I have a couple of Bergner & Engel knives and
the spelling is Tannhauser. Art questioned the following
openers as he has them in his collection. In each case
Tannhauser should be Tannhaeuser. The openers to be
corrected are B-18-162 Claussen, and B-21-310, B-21360 and B-21-450 should all be changed to Tannhaeuser.
Does anyone have these openers with the spelling of
Tannhauser?
The A-11-1 Wooden Shoe selling price of $73.00 was a
pretty surprise to me as you rarely see this one on the
market. The A-17 Dr Pepper is the 4th or 5th of this style
offered on eBay and they have all brought in 400-600

“F” Kitchen tools were pretty dominated by soda brands
selling well. One surprise was the F-12 Horsford Baking
Powder going for $191.50. I did not realize this was so
desirable. Mike Krejci wanted the “New Discovery F”
Gutsch kitchen tool similar to an F-12 but instead of a
slotted spoon, it has a measuring spoon. Mike will send
pictures for next year’s “New Discoveries”.
Cast iron figurals continue to see the common and repro
openers constantly offered for sale on eBay. Some of the
good examples that sold are shown highlighted by the
“Skull” opener at $1,026.00. Sandra Emme did pass
along that Les Zakarin passed away. He was one of the
original 12 founding members of the Figural Bottle
Opener Club (FBOC). His family sold part of his collection on eBay and allowed the club to sell some of the collection at their annual convention this past July. The
highlight of that auction was the F-422 Amish Man bringing $3,800.00.
“G” type saw limited sales for better brands, but Dr Pepper easily led the way with $150.00 for G-4. “H”s saw
the person who has found a pile of what was a tough
opener, H-3-48 Koenig, continue to list them at a starting
price of $9.99. I think everyone who needs one in JFO
has this opener by now. A near complete set of “H-8”s
(missing 1 of the Arrow beer openers) brought a decent
price at $146.50. As is becoming the case with eBay, so
many different “H-8”s are offered that is not that hard to
get most of the known ones. Getting real nice condition
“H-8”s is another story, even for many of the common
ones.
high at $82.01. No other surprises in the “N”s except for
the N-68-1 Kittanning knife. Maybe some other collectors have turned this one up, but when Don and I did the
JFO book in 1998 we had to borrow the knife from Tom
Zruno’s daughter. Tom had originally discovered it and
even with two worn blades was the only example we
knew of at that time. The one I got on eBay for $84.99 is
in great shape.
Starr openers continued to see strong sales. This area
always seems to attract “New Blood” and even though
prices can fluctuate pretty wildly, the good openers always seem to bring good money. One example is the O-5
Pep (the one with Made In The U. S. A. on the back, not
the newer German version). The $200-300 price it brings
is always consistent. Competition is very tough for the
good Starr openers. Just be ready to pay the big bucks if
you want to collect these. A nice O-12-1 Pabst brought
$250.00 (from Dave Lendy’s collection). The Starr Coca
-Cola corkscrew wall mounts saw some strong bidding
and price results. These had been selling in the $50-100
price range.
“P” corkscrews have a lot of results because the market
was somewhat flooded with a 2001 Champagne Knife put
out by Anheuser-Busch to celebrate their 125th year (I
presume 125 years of Budweiser). The knife was made
in China and supposedly given out at a 2001 Sales Convention. The first one brought $609.00 but the price has
been going down to the $200 range as more are offered. I

Joe Young found a July 12, 1966 patent drawing of a St Louis Arch combination bottle and can opener. Has
$305.00
anyone ever seen the actual opener? This supposedly M-25-UL AnheuserBusch sold recently on eBay for
$130. Until now only a Lemp was
known in the style (with US beer ad).
$960.00
Have any of you Missouri members
seen this before???
This is the P-5 C. Conrad & Co.
Original Budweiser & Moss Rose
Bourbon I bought last quarter on
eBay for $335.00. First one I have
had a chance to buy. Carl Conrad
invented Budweiser and eventually
sold the brand to Anheuser-Busch.
$810.00
Jeb Burruss spotted this K-6-UL
Southern Select Beer bar mount in a
Texas collection. Them boys in
Texas find good openers.
M-73 unknown liquor found on eBay

Material Update
If you read the convention highlight article in the last issue
you know that I am
continuing to sell
Don Whelan’s “Beer
Types & Missouri”
collection and Dave
Lendy’s “Beer
Opener” collection.
Don’s collection has
400-500 really nice
openers left to sell
and I am guessing I
have about 2,000 of
Dave Lendy’s openers left to sell.
Probably for the next
couple of years, I
have plenty of openers to sell, but if you
have some really
“good ones” please
let me know.
