Savage Voyageur: "I have a Hamm’s beer sign in my Man Cave. It was made in 1956 and is called the TV Rippler. It was called that because it was to look like a colored television and the waves rippled on the sign. It has a loop plastic screen that slowly rotates simulating wave movement. The current value is around $1000, but I will never part with it. I have been searching for the location where this picture was taken for years. I contacted the Hamm’s beer sign club and they have never identified where this picture was taken. One of the members here The Great Outdoors before he died gave me a line to some photographers that might have taken this picture. These two only said there was many pictures taken by many people for these adds. So my search continues. Here is my Hamm’s beer sign… your decade old thread |

Wish I had one now. |

deerfoot: "Fun Hamms beer fact - a six pack of cans floats like an iceberg. At last it did in salt water - discovered this while in serving in the military in the Pacific in the 1960’s." So do six packs of carbonated non-alcoholic beverages. Discovered this while watching several of them float down a river in the Black Hills in the early 70s, immediately after a member of our party interpreted the instruction to "put them in the river" as "throw them in the river." |

You have probably seen this already, but it’s worth (re)reading in any event: Sky-Blue Waters, Bears and Beer |

He was visiting a high school friend's parent's house recently after the father had passed. He mentioned setting up his bar in his new house. The mother said that there was an old beer sign in the garage that he was welcome to have. I stopped his story right there. "Please don't tell me that it is a Hamms motion beer sign." Yep, and get this........it was still in the original box and had never been used! He told her that it was worth some good money, but she insisted that he take it. I'm like that would look really good in my mini-bar in my up north themed man cave. He's like "Nice try." But he did give me a Bent Paddle sign recently, not quite the Hamms (that lucky dog), but it works. |

Just for fun, here is most of my Hamms beer cans in a collection of about 300 vintage cans I have had for 50 years or so. Every once in a while, I will enjoy a Hamms 16 ouncer in a shorty glass, enjoying what I can only describe as drinking liquid aluminum. Yum Cheers, scat |
