Rub One Out?

#1

Post by OhioCanGuy »

This can that is. Am I correct that when you see primer lines along the seam, the can is likely a paint over?

What are the likely labels to show up under this can? Rub or not to Rub, that is the question.

Per usual, click to super size!

Looks like a good candidate, Many different cans can be found under these, try rubbing a small spot in back near seam as a test spot. LEON.

Why not it's not that tough of a can even if you do ruin it. What do you have to lose?

Okay, I'm gong to give it a shot and see what's under there. I know a lot has been written/discussed on products/techniques. Could someone point me to the basics. I've not done it before. Thanks!

The over spray on the seam looks more white than grey.
I have found the ones I have done like this have only silver under with no other can. Can't hurt to rub a little on the seem to see. Can would still be worth something if you do just a little and find nothing.
I very much hope its a heretofore unknown can!

I've had 2 fox head bocks and a few pepsi's.
Miller High lifes as well. Over the years Specks has kept them on the side if anyone wants them for documentation. Sold the Fox Heads locally though.

I do paint overs the old fashioned way. Start with rubbing compound to remove label to the primer, then polishing compound to remove the primer. Less of a chance rubbing through to bare metal. Been working on this one.....

Bob,

Maybe back in the day, Land O Lakes were run-of-the-mill flattops, but nice 1/1+ versions bring upwards of $40 nowadays so I'd think long and hard before rolling the dice on taking that one down....

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking of just letting this one be. Be a Land O Lakes that is. Can is pretty clean as it is and the seam could be improved with minimal effort.

Looks like the mystery of what lies beneath on this can will continue to be unsolved... for now.

I would just rub a small spot near the seam to figure out what's underneath. I'll bet this group can figure out the label from just a really small exposed spot. IMO that wouldn't take away much from the value.

This can is just like a lottery scratch ticket. If it is worth $40 then part of that price is based on it being a paint over with who knows what underneath.

There might be label underneath that has a greater value, but you won't know until you start rubbing away.

If you rub a small spot, you will most likely find out what you have.

If the small spot shows its a more common can, then I doubt anyone would want to pay full price for it.

Same as I wouldn't buy a "partially scratched" lottery ticket for any price.

I was looking for a higher grade Land o lakes flat a few years back. Most all of them had some type of rubbed spot on them. As Mark noted, the clean ones are not as common. In a few years it may be really hard to find one in any shape without a rub spot. Sure there's a chance it could be something odd & rare, but it could be another Miller, Shasta or Falstaff.
