What makes a vintage German beer barrel collectible?

Brewery markings, age and originality drive most of the interest among breweriana fans. The listing only gives the details in the title, so the photos are your best evidence of markings and wear.

• Confirm whether the 18" is the height or the diameter.
• Look for stamps, brands or lettering tied to the brewery.
• Ask about repairs, refinishing or replaced hoops.
• Display it in a beer cellar or home bar, or next to steins and signs.
