Keith,

Thanks. That's well deserved.

Here are my bock lid cans. 3 were full. The Bohemian was part of a full 6 pack. The Hi Brau pull tab and the Weber were found full. I paid $100 for the full Bohemian. I paid $150 for the Weber. Only because they were full and I emptied the beer. I don't think I would have paid that high had they not been full.

The rest just have a bock lid. The Hi Brau flat is the only one that is air sealed and may have been relidded.
Verification is the key. Some of the older bock lids have the canning codes on them. If the can is from continental and the lid is from Am Can... pretty sure its a relid or doner lid. This happened recently to a friend who purchased his on ebay and saw the lid and sent it back. The picture did not have the full lid shown,,, just the Bock portion.

"In rust we trust" will help us document these. I have seen several bock doner lids. They all have cracked rims on the lids and were bumpy. Lifting the lid at the seam will reveal if the can has a doner lid.
There were several 333 Pilsner cans found with bock lids that were either short or relidded. I think this is an ad on CL with one. I asked for pics of the lids, I never get a response.
