Art Santen among his extensive bottle-opener collection.

Historical February 1984 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

Art Santen, 6100 McPherson, recently celebrated his 50th birthday by adding the 11,000th bottle opener to his massive collection.

His most recent addition, a Falstaff can opener, is not even in the catalogs yet. Gathered over the past eight years at a rate of more than one thousand new openers each year, the openers in Art’s collection come from all over the world, with a large number from St. Louis breweries.

The openers are mounted by categories, with the best reserved for the Santen’s dining room mantle. Art is shown here among the thousands lining his basement walls.
