“Wow — if you’ve got $485 (or more,) this item for sale today on eBay is for you! The seller says this:

“Very rare Sebewaing Brewing Company Serv-O-Draft Dispenser, 1934… made by Serv-O-Draft Co., Detroit, MI. It is a 3 7/8-gallon (1/8 barrel) comes with adjustable spout, has an air fitting to pressurize the container.

“This was owned by the brewery to be taken to your home or business and enjoy. It was originally called a growler. The spigot can be rotated 180 degrees. Is complete except for the original key. I have another key that will work but is not original.

“This item is very rare and would be the crown jewel of any beer collection. The tray is 21″ in diameter. If anyone knows more info about this item, please email me. Thanks! More information can be obtained by googling Port Townsend Brewing Company. Thanks for looking.””
