Bob,

Fantastic! I’m pretty sure this makes you the official king of set cans. If there’s someone else who should have the title correct me.

Sweet cans!

Re: Sunshine flat variation

Thanks Pete, I’m stumped because it looks intentional. If I saw ONE of these I’d say fade or some printing issue, but with 2 identical who knows.

Anyone seen this can with 2 different colors? 1 face has yellow/brown and the other face has orange/brown. This is a glued seam flat top. Might be common, I’ve just never noticed it before. NOT A FADE (I have 2 of these cans, exactly the same). https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220523/41ed872209b87...

Re: Toleware cone on eBay

Whatever it is will likely be a moneymaker if the paint comes off nicely.

I was in on the bidding but stopped at $25.

Re: Unlisted National Bohemian 5% Alcohol By Volume

Cool can. Maybe a ho-hum brand out east, but for us in the midwest, a neat label not seen that often. So I take it the alcohol statement makes it a scarce variety? Exactly. I asked around and found someone with another example with the alcohol statement, but I never knew it existed prior to this. I...

Can we do a Friends/Family $10 payment directly to treasurer@therustybunch.com or would you rather do $10.75 via the normal method? Just curious.

Just curious - for those of us who use Tapatalk - does anyone pay for it? There’s basically a half price sale now. No ads. Better picture management. It’s only like $5 a year with the sale. Just wondered if anyone uses/likes the paid service. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO MY RB BROTHERS & SISTERS! Steve

Re: You never know, until you look

With the prices of many cans going crazy I think everyone is scared to put a price estimate on anything. I'd say $75 for the 2-faced Natty Boh is about right, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't bring much more at auction.

There is another can label beneath what you can see. It was painted over at the can company. They can sometimes be revealed using rubbing compound. Don’t jump into it though. It’s not a simple job.
