Braunschweiger Sample Salesman Bags Turn up in Idaho « American Bottle Auctions

Braunschweiger Sample Salesman Bags Turn up in Idaho « American Bottle Auctions:

  

A pair of leather salesman sample bags with (100% :) proof that whomever was using it was selling spirits advertised by and for the Braunschweiger Company was found recently in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Whether Braunschweiger himself used one of the bags or his salesmen used them is still up in the air but direct ties to some of his most popular brands are unarguably Braunschweiger. Brands like Beargrass, Old Pioneer, Golden Anchor, Civilian White Rye, Golden Rule XXXX, California Club and other sample vials were found, labeled and ready to be tasted by potential customers were neatly fitted into these leather satchels.

“We’ve built up a useful compendium of price data and related information through Worthopedia but wanted to extend what we provide by embracing what collectors and consumers have to say about their items; friends’ items; their likes, dislikes and so forth.
