Re: Displayed some cones
You are off to a great start.
I like the use of weathered wood for your cans. It looks good.

Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Re: Displayed some cones
Note that leaving them in front of the window will bleach the colors out, especially if it is a south facing window. Also, you will quickly realize that you will want to have the shelves closer together. If you don’t, the collection will grow too large too fast (it may anyways, but at a slower pace).

Re: Displayed some cones
Nice collection, Kyle. I agree with the window and spacing comments.
I notice the Little Red Wagon collectible in the one picture. It reminds me of the time I went to Detroit Dragway for the "Battle of the Wheelstanders!" Saw the Wagon, L.A. Dart, Hemi Under Glass, Chuckwagon among others. As a bonus exhibition, they brought in the Hurst Hairy Olds (twin-engine, four-wheel-drive beast smoking all four tires the length of the track).

Re: Displayed some cones


I'm with Bryan... the weathered shelves make a great display for those weathered cones!
It's nice to see those rusty gems being displayed!
They look much nicer there, than sitting in a box forgotten!
Hoping to run across an off grade example of Lubeck Royal Beer Flat Top Can. Lubeck Brewing Co, Toledo, Ohio.

Re: Displayed some cones
The shelf is facing the north so it doesn't get any sunlight really. I got a couple more shelves just don't have the room for them. This isn't even have my cone top collection I got like 4 more boxes full.Uncle Jackson wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 7:08 amNote that leaving them in front of the window will bleach the colors out, especially if it is a south facing window.

Re: Displayed some cones
I think they are awesome! I even see one I don't have in my collection.
How did that Badger flat top sneak in there?
Any amount of light will still fade your cans over time. Maybe put up some curtains.

Re: Displayed some cones
I'll fix it. The badger is a 1000+ can and I was looking for 1000+ cans and I put it on a shelf because it's rare.

Re: Displayed some cones
My favorites are the Fitzgerald quart and the Sheridan cone. I have neither in my collection. And congratulations on your 3rd place finish in the Michigan State Industrial Technology Education Award contest!

Looks like Ricky Stenhouse got tossed to the curb.

Re: Displayed some cones
Love the NY lineup and you should be proud of the Bev crown! Took me a long time to get that can and probably never would have it if wasn't for Rustmonger and KB finding a dump full of them and bring a couple others along the next trip. That was one fun dump!......Wonder if that one came from there?
