Description
Fun Minnesota sports and advertising ephemera lot featuring two pieces with plenty of local character.
Included is a Wally the Beerman promotional figurine. The name “WALLY THE BEERMAN” appears on the rear of the base. He is depicted wearing a green Canterbury Park cap and shirt, holding a bag featuring the Miller Lite logo. The base advertises Optimus Mortgage Services Inc. A wonderfully odd intersection of Minnesota sports, beer advertising, Canterbury Park, and local promotional memorabilia.
Also included is an original-style 1987 Minnesota Twins Western Division Champions – American League round pinback/button. The front features the classic Minnesota Twins baseball logo surrounded by the championship wording and 1987 date. Pin hardware is present on the back.
Lot includes exactly the two items pictured:
A great little Minnesota nostalgia lot for a Twins fan, vintage beer-advertising collector, Canterbury Park enthusiast, or collector of unusual local promotional pieces.
