Jic Jac Cone Tops

[Kotto]

I need help. Between about 1975 and 1985 I dug up at least a dozen of these in the Ozarks at about 5 different dumps. Orange, Grape, Root Beer, and I think Cola too. Some were in pretty nice grade 2-ish shape. During the late 80s or early 90s, I chose to get rid of my soda dumpers, a decision that I began regretting about ten years ago as the dumping harvest began to decline. I've realized that all those cans I used to think "Oh, I'll find a better one someday." Well, that probably isn't going to happen.

Back to the Jic Jac cones.... I am trying to re-acquire a collection of each flavor. The can pictured below is my first success, and it came from our own Mr. Neil K. I believe that this may be one of the cans that I actually found at Meramec State Park in the 70s!

To the point: If you have a Jic Jac cone top, or know anyone who does, in about the shape or better than the Root Beer shown below, any flavor, I would like to talk you out of it. I'll even trade beer cans off the shelf if necessary. Thanks for any assistance in the quest! -John

if you acquire any doubles in this quest please keep me in mind.

That's a tough can in that shape or any shape. I had one a few years ago but think I sold it on ebay years ago. You don't see them to often. LEON.

John - all the Jic Jacs are in dumper shape. I've never actually seen an indoor copy, although obviously one must exist given the photos in the soda book. Matt

These on grade ones were on eBay a few years back. I was a distant third. They went for around $3k. And that was when soda cans were selling cheap too.

I remember seeing a set of ongrade Jic Jac on the auction. I don't remember which one, Showtime or Morphy Auction. I don't remember when did they have it. I think it was 5- 10 years ago???

I remember digging Jic Jac cones occasionally 20-25 years ago. I always just threw them in my dollar boxes because they were just soda cans. Wish I had those back.

I was second on the bidding for these - there were two more cans in a different lot. Amazing find!

So do tell. Did you get the second lot?

[dtsoc]

No, both went to another collector from the northeast. Neither of us were aware the other was bidding until after the lots sold. DT

John, I still have a nasty Jic Jac Ginger Ale that Tony Stice dug when you showed us the school dump down at the Ozarks. It was the time that you and I dug the huge soda can dump. Fun times.

Man. The treasures to be found. Lol
