Larry and Amy Moore of Girard, OH
The breweries of yesteryear in Youngstown, Ohio produced some highly memorable breweriana. You can discover some of the finest examples of that and much more at the home of Larry and Amy Moore. The couple has spent 25+ years carefully curating a remarkable array of vintage beer signs from the long-defunct Youngstown Brewing Co. and Renner Brewing Co., where Larry’s great-grandfather worked.
The Moore’s have a keen appreciation for some of the beautiful commercial artwork once used to advertise breweries that is now displayed in their home. Although they’ve been acquiring pieces for many years, they still very much enjoy what they consider to be one of the best parts of collecting: “the thrill of the hunt.”
They're sharing their passion for antique and collectible signs and talk about the thrill of the hunt, the importance of preserving local history, and their advice for young people who are interested in collecting signs.
Fun Fact: Larry’s been a collector since he started digging up cans in 1975.
