Dear mike624-ga;
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting question.
What you are looking for is a collectible genre known as "pre-pro
breweriana". There are actually a few sources for pre-prohibition
breweriana items; from post cards, coasters, catalogs, ads and other
assorted ephemera to licenses, permits, labels and in rare cases, even
highly collectible beverage containers.
Here are some sources that redirect viewers to auctions of
pre-prohibition breweriana:

Alternatively, you can buy directly from some collectors (some of
these are simply amazing examples of breweriana too):
