Is she in working order? I'm guessing you aren't selling, but if you were what's your asking price? She's a beaut. | ||

I haven't hooked it up to see so I am not sure if it works. It belongs to the house owner but I can check but I don't think she is selling it. Out of curiosity how much are you seeing similar ones for? | ||

Where was the E&B brewery? I recall they had a blitz on in the late 50's early 60's. 33 1/3 more beer, FREE, 16 ounce bottles. | ||

E&B was in Eastern Mkt. The building is still there. It's behind Hirts. | ||

Yes, you can live there. And if you do, I can sell you this authentic barrel, for a fair price.  | ||

What is a fair price for an E&B beer barrel? | ||
Johnlodge Member Username: Johnlodge Post Number: 4788 Registered: 10-2003 |
More than I paid for it, hopefully. | ||

.........and they did it before there were PCs. I remember in the early 90s one of the salesmen at the company I worked at made a flyer with the newest, latest graphics program. This SOB had a log-cabin font header, followed by flowing French script, followed by some sans-serif something or other. It was a nightmare. | ||

Detroit Jewels last forever. You find them often in older homes where they were moved to basements and used as canning stoves. I've owned a couple... A bit of wire brush and steel wool work and you are ready to go...Just don't try to move it up the stairs by yourself. | ||

For years, my mom kept in her basement one of the wooden lathe wheels from an early Ford plant. | ||

I'm still looking for an old Detroit Stove ad. However, I did find another E & B Brewery ad - this one appeared in the Dec. 4, 1897 edition of "Der Arme Teufel" ("The Devil's Arm", a local publication for the German community in Detroit). How do you like this typeface?  | ||

E. & B. was still being sold in the early 1960's, in a 16 ounce bottle. I would bring a case of it to the handballl courts on Belle Isle. One of the players was a salesman for Budweiser and he mocked the 'inferiority' of the E. & B. brand. The rest of the players had no problem swigging it down after a hot, sweaty match. | ||

A four oven, six burner model is on ebay with a starting bid of 6,000. On another site there were prices of $750 or so. I just googled Detroit Jewel oven and voila. Or is it wallah? (Message edited by kathinozarks on January 24, 2008) | ||
