Jeff's website claims 99,000+ and states that it is the largest in the world. He has an open house during the week of the Spring Thaw show, and it's worth going just for that.

There was a silo near Beaver Dam, WI painted up as a Ziegler conetop. Whoever has that has the largest beer can in their collection!

And when you get that one "Andys" tab that had the slight color variation, you need to move 99,000 cans one to the right. My turn to shut up.

Since I put this thread in the ditch in the first place figured I would pile on.
Figured out why I could not find a photo of the Ziegler silo.... I have the lease on letterhead from October of 1945! will try to update with a scan.. Andy

Well....we might get into a discussion of what "collection" means.....but somebody has to put in a vote for the 3,000,000 cans that Boeing collected in their wind tunnels. Going to be hard to beat that collection. Going away now and will be quiet.
