    Wow, i've never heard of anything like that before. I can't find any references online to anything like that either. Sometimes you would be surprised at what certain things are worth to some collectors. Are you able to post a pic?

    I've searched high and low and found nothing comparable. I don't think it's a promotional item from the distributor. I'm thinking it's a totally unique novelty item made by a private citizen. One of a kind I do believe. I would suspect beer collectors or brewery collectors would pay a decent price for this if advertised/listed correctly. I've emailed someone who will know if this is a promo item or not. I'll let you know what he says. BTW-Very cool item.

    Re: info

    I received a reply from my email- This is what I received from one collector who emailed another collector-

    Didn't learn anything for certain.here's what an advanced Olympia collector said:

    "I have seen them, could be a gift shop item from the 70's, but probably something someone did and sold at the Puyallup fair."

    So your guess is as good as ours. However, If it came from The Olympia Brewery it should say so somewhere on the piece.
    Cheers.....Gary
