"Helmar Brewing Co Padlocks"

The Helmar Brewing Co. had Advertising Padlocks made that were sold as closures on their magnum sized beer bottles.
Most of these locks had pictures of baseball players under glass however there were many other historical figures, Hotels, etc. depicted.
I have listed only a few of these locks as there are many different varieties. These locks are no longer manufactured.

Another interesting lock is the Captain Anson. 40 of these locks were made by the President of Helmar, and were given to family and friends.

These locks and many other advertising items by Helmar have become quite collectable.
