Casey Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:40:13 +0000 http://houstorian.wordpress.com/2006/12/27/gulf-brewing-company/#comment-7164 I recently purchased a framed promo photo of a baseball team wearing Grand Prize uniforms. The ball team photo has some minor damage but has the full team pictured with the manager. It looks like the photo may have been a promo handout for advertising purposes. I am guessing it is late 40's early 50's vintage. One man signed it over his likeness. I also have the full set of Grand Prize coasters with the 5 capitals of Texas on them. They are in good to very good condition with clear writing. They are fragile due to their age. I have no idea what they are worth, but I would imagine about $10 each. As a set they might be worth a little more. I recently purchased a framed promo photo of a baseball team wearing Grand Prize uniforms.

It has a photo of a building and the caption below is "Third Capitol of the Republic of Texas located in Austin 1839-42 and 1845-46" Gulf Brewing Company, Houston, Texas. It's in perfect condition. Do you know what it may be worth and/or if anyone may be interested in it. Please email me at rvenners@cox.net Thanks! I have a Grand-Tastin’ Grand Prize Beer Coaster.

My father did not work for Hughes, but on his way home (Seabrook) from work, he would stop by the brewery and pick up a case or 2. I have an old can/bottle opener with the Grand Prize logo. I also have pump keg tap that probably came from a Grand Prize keg many years ago. Both are cherished items, even if the keg pump isn't authentic! My parents were GP drinkers.
