Description: Greetings The second volume of this effort is now complete. Over 900 images are included. This edition contains a variety of what I call the "next generation" of tap knobs. List price is $34.95!In 2003, I introduced the first book on the subject of beer "ball knobs". That book was a success and set the stage for collectors and dealers to learn what knobs were made and for many, a value or price guide to assist in the purchase or marketing of such items.Below is a description of what is in the first book Vintage Beer Tap Markers. Now you can enjoy more than 900 knobs in the follow up book More Vintage Beer Tap Markers 2. Book 1 was published through Schiffer Publishing. This edition is self published and printed by HFGroup Partners, the premier publisher that works closely with the Library of Congress. The format is a bit different with additional information of each entry more extensive. You might think of the format as more like a stamp album similar to that used by the BCCA for their beer can book. The quality of the printing hard back book has been praised by collectors throughout the hobby. The first edition is still available for purchase and is offered at a special price combined with the new edition under a separate listing. As shown in the picture, the new book is divided into separate treatments of ball knobs, Kooler-keG, Daka Ware, "Side Winders" Newman Glass and Aluminum, Figurals, Hockey Pucks, Tap Markers and the first treatment in the hobby of what is called the "New Era Knobs". Following the end of Prohibition on April 7, 1933, U.S. federal and state governments set specific requirements regarding the identification of beer being dispensed from taps in taverns. The tap, faucet, or other delivery system had to be clearly marked with the name of the beer being dispensed, leading to the development of a tap marker industry. Through the mid-1950s, a style of tap marker nicknamed the "ball" knob was widely used. Now highly collectible, more than 2000 colorful ball knobs are presented in this comprehensive and unique book. The knobs represent 1000 brands of beer manufactured by over 675 breweries and are classified by state in which the brewery was located. Because the laws also applied to imported beers, an additional section features many popular post-World War II beers that also used a "ball" style tap marker. Includes valuable information on the history of ball knobs, dates of use, grading, pricing, manufacturers, and a detailed index of breweries. A wonderful addition to every breweriana collector's library! See eBay special price for a purchase of both Volume 1 and Volume 2 at a great deal. Thanks for checking out my listing.
