Description

The listing, *Vintage* Bar Items* Two~ Bottle Can Openers~Advertising~New England* has ended.

The winner gets these two antique openers. The silver colored one is a bottle opener. It says something in German that I can't make out well but it looks like 'Bitte ein Bit or Bis', the other is a bottle/can opener from Thomas F. Lynne Inc. wine and liquor merchant, 49 Cottage St. Easthampton Ma. Both are in good used, working condition. Bar collectables.

Questions & Comments

An alternate translation could be "Bide a little, please." i.e. Mind your manners! It's just beer! ;) I spent some time living in Germany - not enough to be fluent - but long enough to learn "bar humor" is a world within its own . For example, all proper German bars have a print/poster of Albert Einstein sticking his tongue out (actual photo).

Oh, cool! Thanks for sharing that! It makes more sense. I love to learn interesting tidbits like this, lol!!

"Bitte ein Bit" is the advertising slogan for Bitburger beer, which is the #1 draft beer in Germany. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitburger_brewery

Good info, thanks!

I can translate the words for you, if you want.

Jun 25th, 2015 at 12:14:42 AM PDT by

That's cool! Sure! What does it say?

Jun 25th, 2015 at 6:30:34 AM PDT by

'Please a til.' That's what I got from your post. Bitte = please. Ein = A. Bis = Until or Til.

Huh.... I wonder what that is supposed to mean? That was the best I could make out, but I don't get it, lol.

Jun 25th, 2015 at 5:40:17 PM PDT by

I'm guessing it's 'please, just a little bit.' I'm not really sure, but if you Google search the words. I'm sure you'll get your answer.

Okay, that makes sense! : ) Thanks for the info!
