Ortlieb's Mummer's Parade
Another can that I'm not familiar with. I've seen tons of the bicentennials that look just like this can, but never this one. I assume that it's a dollar can at best, but would like to hear some history or other info on the parade theme. I've never been to Phily, so someone enlighten me!

Re: Ortlieb's Mummer's Parade
As for what the Mummer’s Parade is, I would google it. My understanding is that it happens on New Years Day and the “acts” are primarily a bunch of people garishly dressed. I think there are groups that have been doung this for years. I lived near Philly for 15 years, but never went.

Re: Ortlieb's Mummer's Parade
There is a fifth Ortleib's Americana Can for the Fairmount Trolley. It was likely never filled and sold, as I've only seen the can a couple of times, and I don't have one. I've seen one for sale for around $100.

Re: Ortlieb's Mummer's Parade
You're correct, Al.
It's listed in the Test section of Volume II. It was brought up back in August of this year.

Re: Ortlieb's Mummer's Parade
It comes in a half quart as well. One of the cans still on my shelves from the early days of the collection.
