Re: What would you drink back then?

I would have pursued the seasonal brews like bocks and winter brews. Also curious how the eastern ales compared to current micro ales.

Re: Newest Iron Guts Member

I finally opened a 1946 bottle of Country Club a few months back. Oldest so far. I had several swallows but when i poured the rest in the sink the sediment at bottom was a bit frightening..

Canco sample can set

I posted a while back about the Canco sample can set I saw at a local antique mall... I went back about a week after that and picked it up then stuck it in a safe place and forgot about it. Unfortunately no beer, but a cool set of different sizes of food cans with nice pastel paper labels, all tops ...

Re: Could beer cans be considered recession-proof?

Aren't the high dollar cans for the most part the ultrarare dream cans we lusted after as young collectors in the 1970s? I am not confident that people that didn't live through that era are going to prize those cans as much as we do. And there's always the possibility of the discovery of a few cases...

No beer, but kinda cool American Can samples seen at flea market

Spotted these at a nearby flea market. I liked the little OJ sample, but they were being sold as a set. From the graphics styles and a different street address, I'm thinking the other samples are earlier. The others were all complete too, the OJ has no top lid. IMG_0554.jpg IMG_0555.jpg IMG_0556.jpg...

Re: photo of Coors from the 70s

Did a quick search on Newspapers. com - I got hits for Coors sales in Nebraska pre-WWII but nothing 1950s-early 1970s. The article about Oly coming to Neb. had some interesting Coors tidbits. I got hits for Coors sales in Oklahoma through the decades. Omaha article 1972, Oklahoma articles 1962 and 1...

Re: photo of Coors from the 70s

Kansas would have been one of the 11 states. On the infrequent occasions my dad bought a six pack it was usually Coors, in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and I have found cans and bottles from the late 1930s up while dumping.

Re: Green after acid bath

The discussion of the oxalate reattaching made me wonder if anyone has tried electrolysis on cans. It's popular among metal detectorists for relics but of course that is on rusted bare metal.

Owen Sound, Ontario paper, 1960, but looks like it was a wire story as the same thing showed up in a couple other papers when I searched.

Re: High Dollar Cans That Always Seem to be Available

Is there some crossover value where non-can collectors bid without being well-versed on rarity? 007 and Cook's 500 might fit the bill for that.

Re: Cook’s 500 Ale

If i interpret this correctly it looks like Tony Hulman took over the 500 circa early 1950, had some ties to Cook's, and they introduced 500 Ale then.
