Thanks for the concern Bob but, fortunately, it's none of the above. I actually left the hobby a while ago ( I didn't even remember my password to make this original post), now I'm just cleaning out my basement and hopefully getting some cash out of the deal.

Been having some computer issues so haven't really been able to follow up with any of this. I apologize to anyone I've kept waiting and will do all I can to get pictures out as soon as possible.

PS: Yea Mike, all of it goes, Genny stuff too. Yes Tom, getting out.

It appears I'm no longer allowed to post in the advertise section so I will attempt to put this here. I am selling my entire collection as one lot, cans, breweriana, signs, trays, books, neons, all of it. I have the complete run of Genesee including all the killers and a bunch of real oddballs, afte...

Scott (Rollert), can't read the date on the Lucky because of the opener hole but it should be a '35-'36 can.

Straight out of my collection is an indoor but offgrade Krueger Ale O/I Lilek # 463. Medium opener with the "Made in U.S.A." text, tough variation of the last medium opener O/I. Smooth to the touch and displays nice, even has semi shiny lids and seams and has a Virginia tax stamp on the to...

OK, here's a couple more from my O/I collection offered for sale. This is the first time any of these have been available. PM if you're looking for specific canning codes as I may not have the exact Lilek # if that's what you're after. PM and I can look closer (I just went with the main differences,...

My collection doesn't have any Guinness, I specialize in a different brand.

Group hug

Yea, that's the best one known right now Bantam.

Look at that, Danny to the rescue! Not even sure what happened but everything has calmed down and the thread has morphed into something entirely different and much more pleasant. :smt023 I kind of regret even getting started with any of this and in no way did I mean to start a buy vs dig war because...

Marc, it's getting more and more difficult to have an intelligent conversation here but Shamrock is a perfect example of what I was thinking.

Am I the only one cringing to see that can balanced on top of a roll of duct tape? LOL!!! :smt005 Ron Small is top notch in my book as is that can (even though it's ugly.... and I don't care what you say about "simplicity" ugly is still ugly. Having said that I would still kill to put it ...

Wow !! The last sentence of my post was, " Do as you please.....I just dont get it !! After about 10 more posts I will admit that.....I still dont get it. When I say I dont get it , I mean I dont get how it is fun or how it can be exciting to put in a low bid and then sit back all excited as i...

I'm not as educated as some in here

Bantam, you got one of your as Capitalized & one as is not. Is that right? LEON.

Now you're being redundant!

Also....I hear you about New England Beer......what about Hull's Beer, Naragansett Beer and Pale? New England Beer there was the first one (shown in the USBC book) found by Dave Lang and then either 3 or 4 more even lower grade example found a few years later in the same dump by Keith Norton and th...

I see you joined Rustmongers team Wow. :smt017 Welcome to my world, I get corrected in here all the time. LEON. .........and why do you think that is? People who aren't wrong all the time don't get corrected all the time now do they? Take a second and proofread, run the spell check, think about the...

Some pretty elitist talk going on here in this thread, pretty much telling the little guys to stay home to keep the prices lower for the big boys. What what a fun brotherhood this hobby is at times.If I bid the minimum on the Gibbons Bock or if I bid 20 grand it will in no way affect the final sale ...

Is there an echo in here?

The sounds in hear seem to bounce back at you so you can here them again.

Wow, that is a very elite club indeed. Only find I can think of in the past 20 years was the Friendly Gatekeeper dump at that was over 11 years ago. Way to go Dave! Funny to think that, for a guy that's dumped Gretz Ale crowntainers, it might be a tough call to name your best find.

This one did indeed take hours to rub out, about 16 hours

Ahh but it was worth every minute! Wow, look at that! That's just incredible and thank you for all the pictures, I love this stuff!

Thanks for doing that for us Jim. :smt023 That "Cans of Connecticut" display is incredible. For the people that were there and saw it in person are those all real cans and, if so, are they as clean as they appear in the picture? There are a few cans in that display that I wasn't aware exis...

Just got home from the season opener. Actually got chased off the water by a nasty storm but that's OK, we were almost done anyway. The results were about what I expected. I ended up landing 5 keepers with the biggest being a pair of 2.7's, couldn't break 3# today. I was surprised to find a fair amo...

Bantam, there are 4-5 low grade dumper New England Beers and one indoor but very offgrade example. Ortliebs Bock Ale I believe there are at least 4 dumers but no ongrades. Great cans. The Golden Rod is a great example of what (I think) you're talking about. One rolled can known to exist for years bu...

My season starts in the morning. Spent the day getting the boat and gear all ready for the season so I should be good to go. I always have trouble finding fish this time of year but hope to have them dialed in again in a couple of weeks or so. The water's unusually warm this summer so it may make fo...

........and, the boy can SING!!

Hit a deer at the NY/PA state line coming home from the NASCAR race in your backyard.The race tickets were my son's 16th birthday present (and he was driving) so, no, no drunk driving.

Cheater! That's the BCU not the Bible! I didn't think I remembered Bay State in the Bible :smt017 Unfortunately I never had a BCU when I was younger but, when I returned to can collecting in '92 I found out that EVERYONE was using the Unlimited book for reference and that it was now IMPOSSIBLE to ob...

Killer Bay State Mark! Beer Can Bible wish list? That's easy! Willows O/I, Black Eagle O/I, and copper 12 Horse O/I. It's funny, even as a kid I liked the O/I's even though you couldn't even see the backs of them in the book. The Willows is just a very graphic can (my favorite current can at the tim...

No, YOU found a bunch there, I didn't find any! In fact the only one I brought home was the one you chucked in my hole when I wasn't looking. That dump was a blast though, that was one of the funnest dumps we ever dug in my opinion. I really enjoyed that dig.

Its where we found the ox carts! We've found Ox Carts a bunch of times! That's almost like calling it "The Black Label dump", " remember the one dump, it had Black Label, Gennys' and Tudors? " :smt064 :smt064 I had a feeling that's the one you meant though, I like that dump and ...
