Very desirable can, and very pricey when indoor. Congrats on finding it.

Blatz Root Beer...?

Chris T and I visited Alanson near the end of April. Chris got to digging in a pile with lots of 30s/40s bottle caps, which I get a kick out of, so I loaded up a small box to clean. A few Blatz soda caps appeared, which were new to me. We came up with Root Beer, Orange Soda, Orange Drink, and I thin...

Dumped a cute paintover...

Chris T and I were up doing some digging over the weekend. I took a couple hours to scoot across the bridge to the UP just to scrape in a nostalgic spot, and actually kicked up a few cans. One was a crumpled Altes crown that came out with color, so I kept it just to clean. What appeared was a little...

Re: Goebel flats - white print vers

Going to concur with Chuck - the Private Stock 22 is a desirable as a zip and tough as a flat. I've been seeing a few more of the flats pop up as time goes by, but once upon a time it was considered a legitimate rarity. The second one in your post is obtainable. And yes, the chickenless zip is a ver...

Re: Pfeiffer Extra Special

The bland design gets extra demerits for being forced on them by Schmidt- or is it the other way around? Probably the other way around. Pfeiffer Brewing Co snatched up a lot of small Midwestern breweries in the early 60s, thereby creating the Associated Brewing Company roster. A flurry of familiar ...

Re: Cool Can Restoration

Brent - I have full confidence Art could lid that Jax and make it look perfectly natural. He's very good at what he does. Problem with that one is the "ring around the can," which to my mind would be the ultimate giveaway. Seems to me that decision would come down to your own aesthetic sen...

Cool Can Restoration

Several years ago I did a deal with Art L that included a complementary can repair. I banked it until recently, having not been extremely active for the past few years. Another thing that happened a few years ago was a deal with Regan F in which he threw in a can for fun. He basically said it was to...

Re: Potosi Breweriana Show

I am really glad I made it to this show. As noted above, it was tilted in favor of breweriana over cans, but there was plenty of everything for everybody. Early raffle, which I am unaccustomed to. Good food and drink availability, samplers of the different Potosi craft brews, and a very strong turno...

Potosi Breweriana Show

I'm thinking about hitting a show this Saturday in Potosi, WI that I've never tried before. I see it isn't a BCCA-affiliated event. Does anybody here regularly attend this show? I'm curious about show size and whether It's primarily cans or otherwise.

Thanks.

Re: Dave Wheaton scores rare squatty 7oz flat at CFR2019

Those are great. The 96 Years can on the right seems to turn up occasionally, but is still light years from being common. And yes, the later one in the middle is even tougher. I think I've only seen one other.

Love that pic! Thanks for posting it.

Great show as always! I love Cabin Fever, and it was great to see everybody. The 7oz CC was pretty cool. It was hanging out on the very bottom of the bottom box in a good sized pile of $5 cans, and went overlooked. And although it was previously undocumented, it's actually the second one I've had. T...

I'm laying out some new shelving ideas, but I don't have any 15oz cans to measure for height. Anybody care to size one up and give me the vertical dimension?

Could also use the O.D. of a crowntainer rim, if anybody feels adventurous...

Five cans for sale. Take a look and ask any questions you may have.
