cans from Finland
Someone gave me a box of 15 or so cans they found in an old camper. Looks like the remnants of a collection as there were many bottom opened cans and a few dumpers. These were in there. Anybody out there know anything about these cans ? value? Thanks tom

Re: cans from Finland
These three look common, and since they're pretty spotty they would have minimal value. There are a few others that are a bit tougher, but if the others you have are the same vintage, they probably don't have a lot of value either.
Having said this, I really like Finnish cans! My great-grandparents emigrated from Finland and my father learned Finnish before English. I would certainly be interested if you happen to have any I need, and there are a few pretty common ones I don't have.

Re: cans from Finland
Thanks Pete, Just as I suspected. These are the only ones I have. BTW There is no shortage of Finn desendents up here in Northern Minn. Many roads with Finn names, Many Saunas , A few Finnish heritage museums, ETC. all pretty cool stuff. thanks for the reply

Re: cans from Finland
My father's family grew up on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, which was heavily Finnish. Also the town of Fitchburg, MA, and a few others in Connecticut. And of course the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Not familiar with very many other areas with a lot of Finns!
