So - thanks to Tom Petersen I have (to my mind) completed this set. It took 17 years, and started with some good luck at a can show at the Brookdale Lodge in California, where I picked up 6 cans from a closet collector. It still strikes me as so improbable that these cans showed up at the one Calif...

Great stuff you have there!

I have no idea which can is rarest but I suspect there may be some opinions here. If a can is one of a kind, can it be more or less rare than another one of a kind can? 48F1595A-BB85-4482-A418-A8926D788D1B.jpeg1ADD0502-28A3-4BF5-ACBB-31429FBF5380.jpegD845BAAF-B8B5-470A-8FB8-326733BB9A98.jpegE59BB4B...

So sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

man, i could drive to your house and help with this.. i have good luck the hell our of crowntainers and gettign a decent ghost like label.. but would follow Jims recipe with this.. start easy and see if its the rust that comes of or if its the rust that has already come off.. was it dumped in the t...

Jim and Bill thank you both for your help with this. I do appreciate it! I will get some oxalic and give it a try.

Tough would be an understatement. That said, I agree with mountainrust, what do you have to lose by soaking it. Question, did you get this off Facebook? I saw one on there last week. I was surprised to see it and would have grabbed it myself if it had not already been sold. Hey Bill yes I did just ...

I'm not sure when it was found. I just acquired it earlier this week. I heard it is a tough can though.

Is this crowntainer worth trying to clean? I have never cleaned cans before so I am looking for suggestions. Thanks!

This is a 1.62 gallon can, which costs $20.99 before tax. Great for your next Christmas party, but takes up a lot of room on your collection shelf.

Cool can! I need to get one of those!

Congrats Jim! You certainly deserve it!

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting story and great pictures!

Received my Monticello can yesterday. Thank you very much!

I am very sad to hear this news. I never had the chance to meet Neil but have bought cans from him over the last year or so. I received the last 4 cans I bought from him last Tuesday with a very nice note and an extra can from his collection he thought I would like. I thought that was very nice of h...

Wishing you both a speedy recovery!

Hey Guys, My sincerest apologies for the delay in getting cans mailed and returning emails! I got to spend 2 weeks in the hospital for pneumonia. Lots of IV antibiotics, as well as other "medicines". This stuff has been kicking my butt! Feels like I'm 85 years old. Today I will be boxing ...
