Back to page topThat is weird. Was the Jordan Beer around for the time period that the Bonanza show was either filmed or the time period that it was portrayed in? That would have been in the 1870's. They possiably collected the material on hand from local companies. You can do a Google search and find local prop suppliers in the Burbank, CA area and give them a call for the request. However I would think it would be cheaper to just buy the video's watch them and have someone make you one. Just a thought?
I would like someone to post some history of the Jordan Brewery. That might be interesting?
