Here is a Kaiers Union Made Foam Scraper from the Kaier Brewing Company located in Mahanoy City, PA. This pre-prohibition Kaiers Foam Scraper is from the early 1900’s era and is in excellent condition for it’s age. Foam scrapers like this one were used to cut the head or foam off the top of a freshly tapped glass of beer before it was served to the patron of a tavern.
This Kaier Foam Scraper is made of orange burl bakelite with a silver insert pressed into the center that reads “Kaier’s Union Made”. From speaking with other local historians, I found out that these foam scrapers were only used in the bar rooms of the Kaier’s Opera House located in Mahanoy City, PA.
