Another "anything here" thread
Picked these up in a lot at a storage locker sale and I've picked out what I wanted of the bunch. I know little about pull tabs and didn't want to toss out anything someone might want but I simply can't store anymore stuff. First picture are all SS, second pic the 12 oz. are crimped steel. The 5 flats on the left in the second pic are either duplicates or don't fit my collection - the Dobler has rust holes and the 1000 dollar is dented. The Pabst in the second pic is upside down. Be glad to trade for flats I need if there's anything worth it in the pic. Thanks.

@Upsidedown
I am guessing Steve already has an upside down Pabst but if he does not, maybe the two of you can work something out.

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: Another "anything here" thread
About the only thing I see there is the $1000 flat. It looks like it's in nice shape.

Re: Another "anything here" thread
Thanks for the replies. I didn't think there was much here but thought I'd ask first. Back in the 70's when I was collecting, that Amana can was trading/selling for $50 or more. Crazy. The $1000 is dented on two sides so the condition killed it.
Upsidedown, here's a couple more pics of the Pabst. Looks like 4 cities - Milwaukee, Peoria, Newark and LA. If you need it PM me your address and I'll send it to you.

Re: Another "anything here" thread
Seems to me that someone will always be willing to take the straight steel cans, even if they're common. If you offer them for the shipping, I'm confident someone on the site will take them.

Re: Another "anything here" thread
There is a story behind the Amana can, I have it here somewhere, I'll post a thread about it when I find it...bodean wrote: ↑Sun Dec 16, 2018 4:43 pm Thanks for the replies.

Re: Another "anything here" thread
Actually I found it, it's found in a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Collectibles", I'm not sure who wrote the article, but states that the "Amana religious society" put an injunction on the brewery that introduced that can within a week after it was introduced, so making it a rare can, although the article also states that many collectors rushed to buy up as many as possible before the cans were pulled from shelves, seams odd that the price for these is so low, must have been a lot bought in a very short period of time...CrustyRusty wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 3:04 pmThere is a story behind the Amana can, I have it here somewhere, I'll post a thread about it when I find it...bodean wrote: ↑Sun Dec 16, 2018 4:43 pm Thanks for the replies.

Re: Another "anything here" thread
I agree. If anyone wants the SS cans I'd ship them for $20 including the Foster's and both 24 oz. Schlitz. To trash something that's 40 years old seems wasteful to me but I have a lot of stuff I deem worthy of saving but my better half doesn't share that ideology. She thinks we'll end up on the next episode of "Hoarders".Beercanpete wrote: ↑Sun Dec 16, 2018 11:19 pm Seems to me that someone will always be willing to take the straight steel cans, even if they're common.

Thanks for the info Crustyrusty. I always thought it had to do with a trademark issue with the appliances that were made by Amana. I agree there was some kind of frenzy when these cans were released.Actually I found it, it's found in a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Collectibles", I'm not sure who wrote the article, but states that the "Amana religious society" put an injunction on the brewery that introduced that can within a week after it was introduced, so making it a rare can, although the article also states that many collectors rushed to buy up as many as possible before the cans were pulled from shelves, seams odd that the price for these is so low, must have been a lot bought in a very short period of time...

Re: Another "anything here" thread
Do you still have the upside down Pabst can? Which brewery is it from? I collect Peoria Pabst stuff. Thanks
