Anybody know what the grade 1 single bay sold for?

Single Bay??

[mtracy64]

It sold as part of a group of cans both times it sold. I don't know if the cans were priced individually in the second sale or not, but they were not the first time. Call it $35,000 plus or minus about 10%. Call it worth every last nickel of it too.

OK.....I'll give it a shot. What is a "Single bay"?

[Diamond State Boy]

I thought it was just me..
Either the D is next to the S on a keyboard.
Or it's a one of a kind Dingle Bay?..also Dingle autocorrect s to Single.

Great can...how many grade 2 examples?

I know where 1 decent dumper lives!!!

[mtracy64]

I've seen two that I would call grade 2, about six more ranging from a little worse to a little better than Scott's, and a good number that are a big step down from there. It's not real hard to get unless you want one you can read, LOL.

Ahhhhh! The famous Single Bay! I get it now. Pretty sure I know who got the Single Bay on the first maneuver, not sure where it is now. Also heard crazy numbers in the 5 figures, but don't think I ever heard a definitive final pricetag. Here's the higher res picture I got of that can:

Great looking label, here is picture of the side panel :)

Sure. Why not? Modest but they are mine.....

This shelf unit is for my rarer dumpers and cans I like that are not from some of my core breweries (Narragansett, Esslinger, ect). They are all in can keepers so they don't photograph all that well. Much nicer in person......

[H8UF]

Sir......WOW!!!!!

[sgramling]

Mr. Monkey, you are too modest. Great lineup!

[Wrestling Nut]

Mr. Monkey, you are too modest. Great lineup!

Agree 100%

[Rand]

Beautiful! :-)

This can was amazing!!!! My most wanted can since it was my second can ever dumped in 1979 but out of my reach... well it actually was doable but the wife said NO!!!!!!!! The big "D" word was not good!
I got to hold it, kiss it, fondle it and put it down. I know were it was and went and price but sworn to secrecy here in New England.

Here's mine....

OMG....that's beautiful.....is it possible that's the second best known?

Here's mine....

The USBC-OI can looks better in person than in the book, and washing the wax off of it would help. There's a pretty good one in Appleton too. I'd like to see Mr. Lang's again also. But, Longo obviously did really well to get that one!

I can clearly read the "L" in "Dingle" and the "E" in "Ale" on mine.

My can is/was Dave Lang's shelf can. He donated it to the RB for the punchboard give away for Canvention in Milwaukee........

[mtracy64]

I finally dug mine out today.

Marc

Wow! That's got to be one of the best dumpers around!

"Dug out"???? Have you run out of shelf space?

[Sea Monkey]

That’s a beauty!

I had a couple close calls with Dingle Bays before finally landing one. I was in mid-reach for Greenblatt's at his Blue/Grey feeding frenzy years ago when somebody else grabbed it. I missed the can I have now by a minute at Blue/Grey . . . I walked into Woody's room just in time to watch a guy pick it up and decide to buy it. That guy is the same guy who listed a bunch of mostly blue and green cans as a group on the RB Advertise page a couple years ago. I split the group with Liquid Boy, kept the Dingle Bay and Goldenrod Ale, and sold the rest of my half. It's always nice to rectify a missed opportunity, and especially so on such a cool can!

The USBC-OI example was a Lewandowski can and is the best dumper I've seen. The one in Appleton isn't too far behind, and Chris (longopener) has the next best I've seen. The color looks a bit muted on mine here, but not when I look at the original photo, so I don't know what's up with that.

Thank you Marc for always having the story behind the great cans !! I remember dave Lang’s story in rustlings 20plus yrs ago about needing cutting shears to break through the roots in that dump of Dingle Bays

Just curious, where is Dingle Bay and do Dingle berries grow there?
