Is there any market for these? I have probably over 60 of them, mostly regional.

I'd love to have one for bar decorations. How'd you get so many?

Yeah, I think there is a market for these. But I suppose it would depend on what specific handles you have. Probably not a ton of $ to be made unless they were some rare ones.

He ate at a burger place once that was handing them out.

There are tons of people with small basement bars now with homebrewing and home made keezers being popular. I have 2 taps in my basement and i like to rotate the handles. What do you have? If they are cool and somewhat unique there is a huge market. If you have 60 miller lite and bud light handles then good luck.

Bunch of Revolution fists - black, green, cream, a blue and white checkered one for Oktoberfest. A few Two Brothers. Two Blue Moons for some reason. Three Floyds, Lagunitas, New Holland, Pipeworks, Temperence, I don't have them in front of me. Some are just aesthetically pleasing. the Schlitz one is really cool. There is a very sleek Art Deco one for a brewery called DeStihl. I cannot for the the life of me remember the beer.

Thats a solid list. I'm sure there is a market for them. I'd put a fist on my tap....probably a pipeworks too.

Two of our daughters worked there as hostesses while at ISU. We have eaten there a number of times and the food is great.

We passed a car on the way back from Springfield last Saturday night that was wrapped in logo for Destihl.

With Quencher's closing I'm pretty sure Earle is going to be selling all of his. God knows what he has in that basement.

I will hook you up, but you have to come to the restaurant after June 1st to pick it up. I am going to try to get a list together.

You could make decent coin selling them on eBay. I bought a Revolution fist for around $25 bucks off eBay and Bell's handle with 6 screw tops for ~$40ish. Craigslist would be easier as you'll save on transaction fees and your initial list includes a lot of local breweries.

I'd be willing to buy or offer interesting trades for some of the ones you listed.

I've got a Bells, and few of the tops (Oberon, Brown, Amber.) A couple Left Hands that are pretty cool. Lot of Michigan, actually. A couple goofy ones like Shock Top. I will consider extending the same offer I did to dolphin to any CFMBer - come in, drop a few sheckles at the restaurant, ask for Telegram Sam - but let me cherry pick them first.

Are your burgers better than Culvers?

Culver's opened in 1984. We opened in 2013, so logic would dictated that our burgers are 19 times better than Culver's.

A friend of mine had the Dogfish Head pimp cane handle. He was pretty distraught when he broke it and later found out they sell for 4 figures.
