For some reason I was thinking this can was from Texas? Don't know why, Also I never noticed the Michel Bock Crowntainer in the book before. Congrats LEON.

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
You were too busy fondling McCoy's Apache to notice his Michel Bock when we were at his place years ago? I've only seen two Michel Beers in all my years in the hobby, and both of them stood next to a Bock.

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
Some beautiful rust there, good job
My eyes passed over it as well in the book. I also wondered how a Texas can made it to the East Coast. So I checked other sections of the book and saw the similarly-named flat, Mitchell's. I think that threw my memory off.

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
Marc- there are 2 Bocks? Always that it was unique... any stories or history of Michel you are aware of? I dont have a book, but did Ebling brew it? Somewhere I heard they may of made for a son or someone named Michel?

KB,
Yes, Michel was by Ebling. I don't know any history on the brand, or even how to pronounce it. But, Bob McCoy and Dave Stark both had the Bock years ago. Bob's was a little off for condition, but he upgraded when Dave sold his collection. Bob got out of the hobby a couple years later, and I don't know where either one is now.

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
The Leonard Michel Brewing Company operated from 1907 - 1920, at the same address Ebling operated at later. Perhaps the Michels owned part of Ebling, or maybe they were related?

I had Bob's downgrade Michel Bock, and then it moved on when I downsized.

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
Huh, I was perusing Dan's website today, and I never realized the Michel cans were non-IRTP. Dan listed the Bock as IRTP, and the USBC has it as IRTP, but it's not. Both Dan and the USBC correctly list the Beer as non-IRTP. The USBC lists all of the Ebling's Crowntainers as IRTP and I can't find anything to prove otherwise. Are the two Michel cans the only non-IRTP cans by Ebling? Is the Bock the highest priced 1950's can?

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
Marc, I would think it was the highest. There's just the two examples known. Maybe a Dobler Bock is close.

By the way, it's listed as sold at $14K and as being from Bob's collection. I saw it for sale at $18K at Blue/Grey after Bob sold his collection, and I'd imagine you saw that also. The Dobler Bock was the only other five-figure 1950's can I could think of, but I have the nagging feeling that I'm forgetting something.

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
What about the non IRTP Krueger Bock OI?
"Although the cans will be of no value after opened, their cost is expected to be small..." Iowa: June 22, 1935
Why drive 12 hour one way to dig Pre-Tax Tru Blu ales, Genny 12 Horse Longopeners, Gamecock Ales, Apollos, Neuweilers Bock, and Krueger’s Baldies when you can locally drive 10 hours round trip and dig Pfeiffer, Goebel, Drewrys and Strohs?

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
I haven't seen a real clean one sell since the Bank Heist can, and that was so long ago that it was less than half.

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
I have a somewhat vague memory of one going for $8,000-ish in recent years.
One can that eluded my memory earlier is the Pilser's Bock. One went for $12,000 several years ago, and a clean one might do even better now. I.saw at least eight Old Dutch Bocks before I saw my first Pilser's Bock. New York is one tough state to collect, probably the toughest of all.

Re: A pic from Digger - this is BIG !!
I had an Old Dutch Bock long before I found a Pilsers. I agree it could be a contender for second place. Don't think there's a really pristine one out there, though. There are of the Michel and Dobler. Most Fitz bocks have some level of fade, even the nice ones, so I think that hurts their value to the high end guys.
Several off but indoor Krueger Bocks around.
