The large container above is a brewing kettle that was used by the Falstaff Brewing company. The Falstaff Brewing company unsuccessfully tried to compete as a top brewing company in St. Louis, Missouri.
Many swords were on display at the Musuem. This one in particular is a Confederate sword taken during the Civil War by Major James F. How of the 27th Missouri. Louis Bissonet is the maker of this fine, quality sword that many officers would have had.
This is a very old Ted Drewes Uniform which is very different from the current uniform worn by employees. Ted Drewes has sold custard to millions of people over the years. Ted Drewes has been open since 1929 and the main location is directly on Route 66. Ted Drewes has also sold Christmas trees as a yearly tradition, with many families relying on the custard stand for a tree for their living room.
