I have a six pack of small old olympia cans in a bottle/ jug. It was my grandmas. Does it have any value??

It is like a ship in a bottle but its a 6 pack of small olympia cans. Says break in case of emergency

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 can't find a good battery anywhere in the house. I will post when I get some.. More info. Its a complete unopened six pack still connected with the plastic.Its in a 1 gallon wine type jug.. with 2 leather straps and decorative nails holding it in a wooden base. Painted on the bottom it says In Case of "Emergency" break glass. Any info would be awesome!

How cool is that? Maybe a display from a distributor

Maybe I have no idea

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.

Can't wait!! Thanks for the info!! Olympia was my grandmas beer of choice!!!

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
