Hi Sam Dunn,

Do you still have the Marx Brewing barrels? I would be interested in buying them from you. I am a descendant of the Marx family. The brewery was owned by my grandfather and his brother.

For more info, refer to my blog of Sept. 8, 2008.

Please let me know if you would like to sell them

Thanks.

Hi Kevin,

Re the Marx Brewing barrels, are they on your site? If so, how do I get to your site. Thanks.

If you want to take pictures of the barrels and send them to me, I’ll put them up on our site.

We live in Camden MI on the IN/OH borders. My sister-in-law found a couple Marx Brewery barrels in her barn this past weekend. One full size barrel and one about half that size. Both in very good condition except the smaller one missing one of the metal bands. Both have the plug in the spouts as well.

My wife and I bought a home in Trenton, MI that was built in 1895. In the attic we found a bottle (very pale green) from Marx Brewing Co. out of Wyandotte, MI. At the bottom of the bottle it says “this bottle registered and never sold.” As we were cleaning the attic my wife wanted me to throw it out, but I thought it was a cool bottle so I kept it. Just thought you all would find it interesting that I found a piece of your hertiage in my attic!

I was not aware that any of my Grandmothers family or decendants were still alive, my grandmother was Grace Marx, latter Grace Morrison after she married my Grandfather Ben, who owned the Packard agency in Wyandotte. I’d like to hear from Carol Sweeny.

Hi Everyone,

The Marx Brewing Company was started in 1863 by my Great Grandfather and his brother. I found your article very interesting.

I have a large collection of items from the brewery: Large serving tray, tip tray, two wooden bottle crates, many beer bottles, shoe brush, printed documents, street advertising sign, many labels, etc. During prohibition they sold “trinket and trash” also, one of them was the shoe brush with the brewery logo.

All of my items I found and won on Ebay. Would like to chat with someone who has more info on the brewery or buy an additional items anyone may have. My email address is “sweeneytnc@aol.com”

Just today I won another large bottle of Banner Beer with an almost perfect label. I’ve paid dearly for most of my items but how can one put a price on items from their family’s history.

Have a great year!
