Re: Personal dumping challenge this spring

Thanks Tom. You are doing well already up there with those sweet Red Top Beer cones. I’m trying to leave on the 7th, but I was just notified of jury duty on the 4th..Maybe it will get thrown out.

Re: 2024 want to dump cans

I really would like to find a nice Atlas Prager instructional. One that is not faded out of the red and gold. Any variation will do. I’ve dumped a few but they always seem to be on top and void of the cool color scheme.

Re: Personal dumping challenge this spring

Nice Ed, that’s exactly the cans I mean. That’s one of the ones you never see. They seem to be either common or never seen..I’m not saying on my trip that I am going to leave nice Blatz cones or Pabst Exports, just really want to find those obscure short lived labels.

Personal dumping challenge this spring

After retiring from the Army last June, this will be my first spring dumping season when I can be gone for as long as I want. As a personal challenge I am planning on doing a solo week long camping trip to Wisconsin. On this trip I am looking to dump as many Wisconsin cans as possible. This is NOT i...

Re: What are these called?

They are just called flat sheets, painted and cut but not rolled. The Schmidt scene flat sheets would bring 5 to 10 dollars IMHO. Depending on how you’re selling them.

Just me.

Re: Buckeye show pics

A lot of cool stuff. My dad took me to a Buckeye show back in 88’ or 89’. I need to make it to one sometime in this millennium. Crazy what prices some “common” cans in a higher grade are carrying these days.

Nice Ted, great time to be out. So I take it that the ground is not frozen. Good condition for cans in that type of sand. That soil usually leads to the crusty schmutzy type rust.

I’m not really into foreign breweriana or glass but I couldn’t pass this up for the price (saved from being trashed). Does anyone have any info about the age or value on something like this? I know it needs a frame. Totally out of my realm of collecting. It’s 30”x18”

It obviously has some humidity issues. It’s not in any of my soda can references.

Re: dumping in North Texas

I have been to Large old Lufkin city dump near the ball field. I did find a Black Dallas O/I in there amidst the scattered piles of Bud and Pabst O/Is. Nearly 20 years later….Old Corky may have kicked the rusty bucket.

Re: Why waste money painting over your own label??

Yes, all of this does make sense. I just pictured a funny scenario in my mind of some 1950s ozark local reading the brewery mandatory and complaining about how this here beer is from Miami and not ST. Louie. Well shucks, I ain’t drinking it then…

Just a random question about the logistics of painting over your own label solely to change the brewery location. My case is point is the common second generation Busch “clear and bright” flats from the 56-58 era. I have found many of these laying around the Ozarks over the years and I have identifi...
