We do not know when William Menke Brewery started producing, but we know it was before 1903 when the brewery shut down. 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. William Menke Brewery was located in Lower Lake, CA, which only had 3 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.
