This collection consists of nine vintage beer tap handles, featuring predominantly common American beer brands from the latter 20th century. Brands identified include Genesee (Cream Light Ale, Cream Ale, Light), Schlitz, Lowenbrau, Old Milwaukee Light, Lite (Miller Lite), and Miller. While some individual tap handles can be quite valuable, the ones in this collection are generally common and readily available in the secondary market. Their value is primarily as decorative items or for entry-level breweriana collectors. Condition appears to be used, with typical wear for items of this age and function. Individual handles of these types generally sell for $5-$15 each, depending on specific brand, age, and condition. The Lowenbrau and Schlitz handles might fetch slightly more than the multiple Genesee or Miller handles. The appraisal reflects the collective value of these commonly found tap handles sold as a lot.
