Rare Vintage Mann’s Brown Ale Push-Button Figural Bottle Opener
An excellent piece of mid-century British breweriana advertising! This highly collectible pocket novelty is shaped like a miniature bottle of the iconic Mann’s Brown Ale ("The Best Brown Ale").
Features & Functionality:
Mechanical Push-Button Lid: Features a clever mechanical design. Pressing down firmly on the metal crown cap 'lid' at the top releases the metal bottle opener from the base for functional use.
Historic Branding: The vintage paper/foil front label features the classic red shield and horse logo with the original text referencing "Mann, Crossman & Paulin Ltd. London".
Dimensions: Stands approximately 2.5 inches (6.5 cm) tall—a perfect size for a pocket token, keychain addition, or display case.
Condition:
Pre-owned vintage condition. The push-button mechanism is fully intact, functional, and operates smoothly. The metal body shows a wonderful, authentic aged patina and minor surface wear consistent with age, giving it fantastic character. The label remains legible with some minor edge wear as expected from an item of this vintage (please study the photos carefully to verify the exact cosmetic condition).
Ideal for a home bar, man cave display, or any serious collector of vintage British brewery memorabilia!
