WOW! Those are nice. What is he asking for them?

[Rand]

Beautiful! Tough cans in great shape. Suspect they will bring more than $172.50! :-)

It'd be an upgrade for sure.

[willssoda]

Heck with one wall I’d be tearing the whole house down. Those are sweet.

Can the hats be rubbed off?

Can the hats be rubbed off?

In that condition they are probably rarer than the Baldies.

BR Lilek 476A with "CANCO" with quotes is in the supplement. It is of course an R10/R10 and according to Lilek the Grade 2 was brought to his attention by Dan Morean and believed to be the only one known at that time.

Agree, "And the Walls Would Come Tumblin Down!" What a find; What a hobby! Bravo- the hits keep on coming.

[mrlager428]

WOW AWESOME!!.... .....Still a R/10??

[Summitcan]

picture shows one with a can code and one without

[Leon]

This is gotta be a old story & find, I've seen these same Pics many years ago. LEON.

Funny you say that, I would have sworn I've seen these photos before.

Was just going to say the same thing.

[Can Dr.]

Leon, I thought the pictures look familiar also, but I think those cans came out of Vermont. I think I have the picture some where. When I see or hear stories like this and a few cans found I think how I would love to gear up and start looking with my detector and experience in doing these indoor excursions.

[Pokey]

The pictures have a date of June 22, 2009 on the Flickr page.

[e61096]

I had asked my co-worker buddy to get more info
yes, they were found a while ago, he was under the assumption they
were found recently(at least he was looking out for me)
get the word out

they were found in Bala Cynwyd, Pa Outside Philly

[kruegerbock]

These were shopped around before. I wasn't sure until I saw that someone indicated the picture was several years old.

[Leon]

I saved some of those exact same pictures to my computer many years ago & still there now. And Pretty sure I posted them in here in the past. Nice find still & always good to have someone you know in the construction business looking for you. LEON.

Oh, THOSE Kruegers. BCM and I stopped by to see those in philly a few years ago. I sat in the getaway car with the motor running (tank full of gas, sunglasses, check) while Steve went to try to buy them. The guy i think was a lawyer and would rather have something valuable other than money. I never got to see them. Sniff.

In other news, I just moved into another 1938 house. Anyone care to invest in my renovation efforts? My track record is Madoff-esque- infinite returns on your investment! As in, no one invested any money and then I found a Senate stubble worth about $1.

[Rand]

There is a long standing problem of information and history being lost to the general collecting public because it disappears off of these flicker or photobucket or other picture housing sites. To that end, I grabbed the pictures and am posting them here. While there's no guarantee therustybunch.com won't go away in time.....it has a much better track record than all the other options (except maybe Leon or Ed's personal files! :-)

So the non-can collector who found them still has them? What do we all think these are worth, each?

And yes, hats off to Rand for preserving these pix along with the story.

What do we all think these are worth, each?

Good question. I saw a nice clean one for $3,000 in Indianapolis three years ago. It was on my short list of potential purchases, and it sold before I made up my mind. I don't recall whether it had quotation marks or not, but both versions are rated R9/R9.
