Day Drinking Mugs
Description: Toner’s Beef & Ale, the last name hanging on the house built in 1926 that stood at the corner of Pennsylvania and Fort Washington avenues in the Upper Dublin Township. The old brick house was built by a chemist who ran a patent drug store on-premises. He later expanded with a soda fountain and gas pumps out front while maintaining living space for his family. By 1933 the original owner had moved his family out, got a liquor license, and reimagined the space as The Brick Tavern. 30-years later John J. Toner bought the tavern for $28,000 and it was reborn as Toner's Beef & Ale, becoming a popular community watering hole for decades to come before ultimately being demolished and replaced with a bank in 2015.
Description: The Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB; Irish: Bráithreachas Phoblacht na hÉireann) was a secret oath-bound fraternal organisation dedicated to the establishment of an "independent democratic republic" in Ireland between 1858 and 1924. Its counterpart in the United States of America was initially the Fenian Brotherhood, but from the 1870s it was Clan na Gael. The members of both wings of the movement are often referred to as "Fenians". The IRB played an important role in the history of Ireland, as the chief advocate of republicanism during the campaign for Ireland's independence from the United Kingdom, successor to movements such as the United Irishmen of the 1790s and the Young Irelanders of the 1840s.
