“Well look what I found going through some of my mothers things. Patches; the large one is about 8″ long, the others, about 4″. My stepfather, Ralph Leonard Ludwig used to work there back in the early years before he went to GM. Any thoughts on what they’re worth?”

Here are the comments from the post:

Steve Lenz See stuff like that on ebay alot

Shawn W Janke I’m going to hang onto the large and one small one.

Shawn W Janke My Dad had the old wooden cases of bottled Sebewaing brewery beer stored in the cellar when we were kids.

Shawn W Janke No posters, but there is an old cardboard brewery pheasant about 18″ wide left in the garage in Mio. It was pretty beat up though.

Joyce Harder My dad also worked at the Sebewaing Brewery for over 30 years until it closed up. I remember the big patch was sewn on the back of my dad’s coat and the little patches was sewn over the shirt pocket.

Benita Taschner-Graf My Grandpa worked there

Shawn W Janke Didn’t know that Benita.

Brian K. Schwartz My grandfather, Frank used to drive truck. Those patches look very familiar.

Jerry Deeg Those patches are pretty sought after on ebay. The $50 patch Willy is talking about is hanging in my living room.

Jerry Deeg If they go on ebay let me know!

Thank you to Shawn W. Janke for this post and all of those who took the time to comment in Facebook.
