I think I ended up with something from all but one of the RB sponsors. But, yes, there was some substantial wheelin' and dealin' with Dan M. on Sat evening. Despite all that shine, my can of the show is the Narragansett pint. Have been looking for that one for a LONG LONG time.

Really like the bock can

[Daev Larrazolo]

Ya Dave where did you get that pint? That's the first thing I noticed.

[Dan B]

Dave,

What does that Krueger usually sell for, if you don't mind me asking?

Which one? There are 7 Kruegers pictured...

I believe it was the Beer Can Guide. I was so excited to find it I forgot my manners and neglected to do introductions as I went off to stash it in my room. But I did notice BeerCanGuide biz cards on the table. rlfplf did this come from you? I saw on here that you recently got a clean one.

I bet Dan is asking about the Half Quart?

[Dan B]

Dave,

Yes, the Krueger half quart.

[dwaugh]

I would say $25-$40 range, though I honestly don't know whether it's any tougher than the Half Quart version, enamel version or any other (tho the book says there's a variant with white word "cream" that gets a premium). This one came in a group of cans and was not individually priced.

I am a freak for Narragansett variations, not so much for their off-brand labels so I may be off on this one...

[Joe Older]

Dave, great cans!

Here's my small haul. Went for quality over quantity. Looked at lots more but didn't pull the trigger except for these 3. The Alpen Glen from Dan M., the Schoenling from Dale R. and Esslinger Bock from fellow Mountaineer Jim R. Thanks guys!

I didn't accuire this sign at B/G, just had it returned to me after some restoration. Thinking that's Teddy Roosevelt and some German officer (Kaiser Wilhelm?)in the '08(?) Caddy.

Prepro sign from WV-never seen one before!

[H8UF]

Another Esslingers Bock...###!!!!!!! Where are they coming from???

[kruegerbock]

I haven't had much luck getting high end cans at shows lately, but I basically went crazy on a few of these. Plus plenty of upgrades, odd cities and micro cans. First 9 are flats, next 4 are zips, first MB Lite is a juice tab. Also picked up a nice Krueger thermometer and a boatload of micro-coasters.

Also got to share a beer or 10 with friends both new and old. What a country!!!!

[Beercanpete]

I think I would call getting a Trommers Bock (OI?) "having much luck"!

[kruegerbock]

I guess I should have started with "Prior to this show"...

[fiat128]

Just curious, is the A&P Tudor tab a hard can? Reason I ask is that when I was a kid, I remember a 3 foot deep, 5 acre dump full of these in Edneyville NC that I was standing in. I took a couple of cases but left most of them there.

WOH (to quote) to go to a show and get almost 50 cans for the shelf - that is GREAT at any show. The people that go are in the know!

So sorry I missed all the fun and the conversations, beer, cans, smashing Ditto cans, etc.

Thanks for the photos; see you in PDX in May.

The enamel thin seamed A&P Tudor can from Cumberland is brain dead easy. The one I picked up was an upgrade on my ring pull from Trenton, NJ. Depending on how crazy you want to get with lid and mandatory variations, some of the Tudors are difficult to come by.

Here are some of the cans I got at Blue-Gray.

All flat tops. The 905 came from Jeff Lebo.

I had a great time at the show,didnt even notice the locals dont drink much in the hospitality room bring our own Yuenglings and Millers.Shared some good laughs with Andy,Paul B,and alot of the shows regulars.Went dumping got some shelfers,sold some dumpers,liked hanging out with Glenn and got some great stuff for the collection.Life is Good and so is the Blue Gray show. Andy worked a deal and got me a killer Bushkill neon for a steal upgraded 4 dumpers 2 Qrts and 2 cones. New Yorker Bob C.got my Bartels neon at coal cracker show and fixed it and brought it to the BG show. Sentimental that neon one my Dad had in his bar for many yrs.Seamonkey gave me a great deal on the Qrts and Dave L thanx for tracking him down.

[Daev Larrazolo]

That Bushkill is sweet. Seamonkey was never at his table so I did a lot of tracking.
