The John Schaefer Brewery opened in 1860, we do not have records that show when the brewery closed so we can only guess. 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. John Schaefer Brewery was located in Mauch Chunk, PA, 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.
