The Rusty Bunch

Either way...tough can and then to dig it in Alaska....great stuff @DanielinAk

@DanielinAk Now if you said that baby came from Miami.......that is a long way from home....

@Boardman Now if it has a Florida stamp on the bottom........sure would be interested.....

Great digging but I'm not sure a certain someone would approve of that steak cooking method.....

@Leon Curious minds want to know.... If ol' ziphippie drug this thread up from that far back it sure has been a burning question....

Agree with @hover31 Just simply upside down. White would form mountains either way.......

willssoda Ask and you shall receive. Here are some more details after a quick look at newspapers.com. Looks like the cone top was first made/announced in May 1949. Sadly that was the only ad I find that included the can. Also note that when Wiessner's took over, they produced two cans. First was th...

@ rh3taylor Richard....welcome aboard. Please don't be afraid to ask questions. There is never a dumb question for this hobby we all love and enjoy. If you haven't looked through the USBC Vols http://bcca-usbc-supplement.com/Default.aspx?@DummyParameter%20=%20Home in a while you might want to refres...

@Conehead Jim Thanks for all you have done and continue to do for the Chapter. You're unwavering support is always appreciated........

These are some scenes from a video on ghost towns. This one included Thurmond WV and included The Dunglen hotel which was across the river from Thurmond. Quite the bustling little town back in the day. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Thurmond,+WV+25901,+USA/@37.9620676,-81.0793525,820m/data=!3m1!1...

They were jinxed from the whole can thingy.......

@Joe Older Wish I could talk with him at length about them. He's the one that got me interested in them........

Just thought to follow-up with the actual can. Not a 1+ but......oh and I had to pay another $15 to get it shipped from Idaho......and all three of the Pabst were WF USBC I 111-25. I'm happy for $30........

I happened to get two cans that will eventually be added to the USBC The Burgermeister is an 11oz softtop with the Jos Schlitz Brewing Company Los Angles mandatory The Trophy is a 12oz flat top with the Trophy Brewing Company and the added ABD shield on the side rather than the mini-trophy as on USB...

If you're a Facebook'r and on the BCCA FB page, there is a FB live video. Yeah I got a bunch of names wrong as expected.....

Just click on the video and it will launch over to Facebook.....

I picked up some unlisted reunion cans that hopefully can get added to the USBC Vol II sometime. The 12oz can is not clear since the only feature is the tower but doesn't look like any tower I know from Princeton but could be wrong. All it states is "Greetings to the Alumni from Budweiser". The bott...

@Randy Karasek Thanks for running this again.

Portland had 46 members
Milwaukee had 48
Can't find stats for Cleveland or Omaha

@idigrust I counted heads on the Omaha photo that is posted up on the RB Facebook page and there is nearly 50 people in the photo.

@Joe Older Jim Wolf will definitely be there with his box. Hope you're able to bring the cans to get them added.

I like me some green chili, although I never had it on a burger. Looks good to me... To die for! So based off the response here so far, I'm guessing 30-40 RBers to attend ABQ CANvention/RB Meeting? Is that what was in Omaha? Cap-Sealed I would say we likely had something around 50 at the meeting......

Make sure you stop by the Rusty Bunch hospitality room at Spring Thaw.....grab some food and tap a beer into one of the infamous RB 35th anniversary cups.....

@kamsquared Same one? Solid lids on it..........can't remember where I got it....

Did you get high bid Keith? Didn't see any Prices realized, have to sign up to see those? LEON.

@Leon Yeah guess you have to log on to see the realized prices.....way out of my price range...

Every once and a while you hit an auction item for a great price.......according to the auction site I won this Schlitz OD cone top, that should clean up some along with 3x Pabst WF (based solely on the front of the cans but will have to wait until they are in hand) cans for the winning bid of $15. ...

@63cagedfalcon Paul have a specific focus or just happy to collect any can? Welcome aboard....

Here are a few video captures from a show called "Killing Time" which is crime-mystery series that focuses on a critical, lost period of time the day of a homicide. This was from an episode called "Poker Faced Killer". I guess they didn't want to pay for the use of the Leinenkugel Brewing Company na...
