Re: Dave Launt Interview Transcript

What a great read...I Just loved his story about dumping and his life.

My favorite line and I quote....Dumping alone is like going to a wedding and the bride does not show up. Well said Dave! It is my loss that I never knew him and you Michigan guys are so lucky.

Re: SCORED A CHICAGO HOLY GRAIL !!!

Nice score. Is that the third one known? Good question. The best known example that is pictured in the USBC book was found in Iowa at a antique store for like 7 bucks back in the late 1970's. The 2nd one I am not sure of the history. I really hope this is number 3 and what a great score Brent G :sm...

Every one knows or think Schlitz was the first cone top produced as that was all the adds say. I sorta agree that Schlitz was the first but not the one that created the first can on the market..

Growing up in Nebraska the Schmidts scene cans were so cool. But I like this one better. I got this one for a song and on grade. Just 22 bucks and asked the seller If he had any more and said the only one. He was big into sports cards and coins. It was a very very impression collection. I guess you ...

Since you said you have had this can for 20 yrs and LOVE IT I would not sell it. If you need the money I get It. If you want extra money to buy other cans than I get that also. If later you have seller remorse (and I have) you will have a hard time to aquire another one. I bet every Rusty Bunch memb...

Re: Rarest cans by state - has there ever been a list?

It is this can from Nebraska. A small Brewery that produced just one can in the late 1950's . The Storz Farmer and Winterbru flats from the late 1930's are sexy and get top dollar when for sale but this cone is hard to find.

Just saying....Brent G

At $65.00 per can this is a no brainer. Worst case is that you sell the 5 cans for $400.00 and that = free can. But you should do better than that.

Good luck.
