Hampden Brewing Co. opened in 1933 and closed in 1957 it was open for 24 years. Items from breweries of this age tend to be more common and less valuable than some breweries. Early items can still be valuable as can rarer types of items. This listing was active during Prohibition which makes it an oddity. Some breweries were able to stay in business by producing "near-beer" which was very low alcohol, some switched over to bottling sodas or other beverages, some became Ice-houses or other related businesses. Our information indicates that Hampden Brewing Co. was the only brewery that was located in Willimansett, MA sometimes this means that items from a brewery will have extra value in the area it comes from because there are not other sources for local breweriana.
