Thanks for all the compliments regarding my Schmidt collection! I have made so many great friends worldwide due to this hobby and thoroughly enjoy collecting Schmidt and to be able to share it with everyone!

I wanted to share this special piece made by fellow Rusty Buncher Two Gallon Tom McDonald who lives in Babbitt Minnesota. I met Tom last year dumping in Wisconsin and as he is an Artist, we discussed him doing this piece. Some of the keys of this sign were to use all 21 Schmidt Scenes as that is wha...

Another 41” Northern Pike caught and released with hover31! What an epic battle full of jumps like on the Schmidt can and runs that bent the pole in half. I also had an audience of about 50 people in pontoon boats docked just off shore. It has been an amazing week with an amazing friend!!!

When hover31 says....... “I know a spot” ....... 41” in Southern Wisconsin. Successfully released!!!!

Thanks Blake

Thanks Tom!
Thanks to everyone for the input!

can one of you guys post a picture of the back of your come top?

A friend of mine has this Schmidt Cone And we are trying to figure out the story on this can. It is a cone top however the typeface of “A Cereal Beverage” does not match the two listed in USBC cone top section but does however match the flat top in the book. Also the back seam of the can has that in...

Zoinkss, I have worked my way thru the Schmidt cans. I believe most of these are probably Quality Samples or Print Check type cans and the cans were produced. Alot of them have different mandatory information as you noted from breweries in different cities as well as different can makers. I know the...

I have been working on collecting all the various Schmidt sets as well as all the variations (different canning companies, different lids and seam construction which tell a story on the development of canning technology). I figure when i am done that i will have over 1,000 different Schmidt cans. Ce...

I have some very tough Schmidt cans FOR TRADE ONLY (NFS). I will trade for Schmidt cans i can use. If you have some traders, give me a shout, maybe we can work out a deal.

If you have any Schmidt cans, I would be interested!

I will be at both the Onalaska/Lacrosse show and the Delafield show!!!

It was a great show! I found some great items!

I will be there!!!! Cant wait!!!

I got this one off ebay a few months ago. i have been trying to get the mallard duck flat for awhile. I bid much higher than my winning price, but I didn't really know the value of this can. happy to have it now...wish it was in better condition, but still not too shabby. Are there many clean examp...

Curious if anybody tries to collect just one scene like the pheasant can in as many different variations as possible? It would be neat to see a collection of just one scene in all it's possibilities I am working to collect all Schmidt sets however I have a side project to put together all the moose...

If your ever looking for cash.......

I'm working on collecting all the Schmidt sets and looking for the cans noted in each picture attached. Hope my fellow RBer's can help. I also need a lot of the flat and zip tops yet but thought I would try to focus on and complete the 5 sets in the attached pictures. Thanks!!!

The third set of flat tops in the book cans 130-31 thru 131-05 are from "Assoc. DBA Jacob Sch". Can someone with an all original can provide me a picture of the back of the can so I can see 1) whether it says "packed" or "filled" in the mandatory, 2) the seam and 3) the...

I Have received 2 responses so far. I hope more people have Schmidt cans otherwise this will be a tough task.

I am working on building all of the Schmidt steel flat and pull tab sets that I can including variations in can maker and lids. My list of cans I am looking is very long. I have about 250 cans so far and believe I have another 150 to go. Let me know if you have a bunch of cans we can work thru and m...

I am new to the Rusty Bunch but had a lot of people recommend that I join. I started a lofty project to collect all Schmidt sets. Here is a pic of the 23 sets/variations I am working on. I have a handful of the newer sets almost complete but a long way to go on many of them. Should keep me busy for ...
