New Acquisition Wednesday

[Clarkston1]

I haven't been too active lately but couldn't resist picking up this Frederick's J. The graphics look almost pre-prohibition.
I've never seen a dumper although I'm sure some are out there.
Great info on this can on beercanhistory website.

I should add I picked this can up from Ted Larsen at Steel Canvas/Larwood Limited. Efficient and quick to do business with...great cans and prices
EDIT: Added pic of Frederick's bottle with matching label design.

That Frederick's doesn't suck at all. No siree not one bit.

That's always been one of my favorite cans, and the recent price drop made it extremely attractive. I figured it would move very quickly, and it did. Nice grab!

The design is very similar to a pre-prohibition label. Google failed me in a search for that label, but I have a photo somewhere. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Steve,

Nice grab on the Gennys. I understand that the "{Natures' Mellowness" is a real toughie. I think an articale was done on the BCCA News report about it.

Love the Gold Handy Keg. Very hard to find.

Found a goat in my mailbox today! Steve

A mix of new and old for this weeks acquisitions. The Ruppert was the elusive Economy size for me. This pint also has the banner of King & Giant size with the Knickerbocker in white surrounded by a red banner. Thanks to DaveNH for most of the cans in this weeks acquisitions. Steve

What did you get?

[OhioCanGuy]

Always liked the Bond Hill cans. Finally broke down and picked one up.

These metallic cans can be ridiculously hard to photograph. Only way I could get it at all was to lay it on its side. Per usual, looks better in hand!

Wrestling Nut(s) avatar can, been looking a long time! Bjorn

[PUFFDADDY]

A couple Chicago cans and my 1st Blatz "Christmas" can. 1 color down 5 to go. If you've got a rusty Blatz from this set you'd like to sell or trade let me know. Snowed in today in Maine. 10-14 inches of snow expected. How bout you?

Let's see your newest

[mtracy64]

I worked about 140 hours of overtime last month and then failed to pull the trigger on a can I should have bought. The good news is that my stupidity worked in my favor this time, as this handsome fella hit the market a few days later. I did not fail to pull the trigger a second time!

[Wrestling Nut]

Wow, congrats Mark!

[sgramling]

Nicky Bock! Nice

[mtracy64]

Thanks, Brad. I don't play in that end of the pool often, but he may be the most exquisite goat to ever grace a can. I kicked around the idea of buying one that was consigned to Beer Cans Plus some time back, but they were directed to eBay it and it went over $1000 above the price they had on it. Thing aligned much better this time.

MarC, that can is hard to beat !

[CVforMe]

was that part of a chair or something? Looks like solder marks on the bottom rim?

Nice pair! I'm looking for the same for my off-grade Bay area can display.

[foreigncanman]

One of the all time great cans. From what I remember the can on ebay was quite "reasonably" priced . Was that the one you got?? I hope I am not breaking any gentlemans agreement by responding to a new acquisition Wednesday can that was psoted on a Thursday.

[foreigncanman]

I checked sold listing and saw the can that ended Feb 4 Unbelievable !! I wonder how many oi versions vs non Oi versions exist. Cool goat . Looks quite pleased.

[mtracy64]

The Jacob Ruppert Bock OI is one of the five from the Maine auction a few years back. All have the solder marks, but I have no idea what was built from them. I'm not sure where this one ranks condition-wise amongst the cans, but I've seen one that is roughly equivalent and two that are a definite step down. I'm aware of three additional indoor cans, two of which I have seen. One is 1/1+ or very close to it, and the other is 1/1-. I've never heard of a dumper. I'm aware of only two examples of the non-OI, one absolutely pristine and the other grade 4.

Yes, Tom, this is from the auction that ended on the 4th. I agree that it was priced reasonably. A lady friend who really gets the "art" aspect of old cans referred to the goat as "Mona Lisa-ish" and commented at length on the asymmetry, the eyes, the sideburns and several other things. He's a keeper, and she might be too . . .
