Yeah, that's the one. I wonder if he still collects. Seems kind of lonely without your fellow collectors (not he doesn't deserve it!!!!) MarkB

Re: Your favorite Antique/Flea market finds

I grew up near the Shipshewana flea market in Northern Indiana. Much of my childhood collection can be attributed to that flea market. Things were pretty simple back then. I had a cardboard suitcase that was leftover from a Boy Scouts fundraiser. I would fill it up with cans and walk around the fle...

Re: A 3.2% can database?

Every can sold in WV from 1945 to 1980 was 3.2%. Every flat top and pull top can from 1950 to 1980 had a 3.2% WV tax lid on it. I have over 600 cans with a WV tax lid in my collection.

A 3.2% can database?

Hi all. Would it be worth the (considerable) effort to start a database of cans with a 3.2% lid? It's easy to tell with cans sold in Virginia because they have a green tax stamp rather than a yellow one, so I consider it a variation. But it'd also be a lot of work. Would anyone else find it useful? ...

Looking at the supplement isn't one metallic (short) and the other enamel (tall) but hard to figure out the height between the two.

Mickey's 16 oz from Sterling as a flat?

I recently picked up a 16 oz Mickey's from Sterling like USBC #2 156-23. It's a flat top though. Has anyone else seen this can as a flat? There are no obvious gear marks that I can tell to indicate a relidding.

thanks, MarkB
