Jim Haehnle wins a one of a kind Haehnle beer Tip Tray.
It was a Battle Royal and in which Jim Haehnle came up the winner on an extremely rare Haehnle tip tray used in taverns
that sold Haehnle beer in Jackson, Michigan. This item appeared in an auction on EBay of June of this year, 2022. Asked if
he expected the interest to be so great on such a small item he said, good things come in small packages! There are many who
specialize in Breweriana knew it was a rare gem too. But after a flurry of frantic bidding it came down to the final seconds,
James came up with the win. Oddly enough this item was found at a flea market in Iowa.
James who has collected Breweriana for years does collect other tip trays from other Brewers, but none are more Rarer
than this 0ne. For years it was thought possibly Haehnle did not have beer trays. But low and behold one pops up and in good
condition, and undocumented. He later commented about the auction on how close it was and stated: I won this gem only by the
skin of my teeth!
