Howdy all... I joined today just to get ya'lls opinion on the rarity and value of this can I found in a ceiling in a house built in 1941. I found it today.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Could you post a pic of the cleaner side? THANKS, LEON.

P.S. Nice find.

That is a very nice can. The dumper I found in 1980 is still on my shelf. I found mine in Northern Virginia. It is one of my very favorite cans in my collection. Where did you find yours? How many did you find? Did you find any other brands? Congratulations on this exciting find!

Thanks,

Mike, I found mine in a ceiling in Old Town Alexandria, VA. I'm a carpenter and I'm gutting and renovating a row house built in 1941. Apparently the carpenters drank Tru Blu. Lucky me, but I went through demolition hell to find it!

Thanks for the cheers!

[budbock]

You should probably look for some more cans.

[Canteen Boy]

hey budbock... I have two more ceilings to drop! Hopefully the carpenters drank more than one Tru that day!

[Canteen Boy]

and more insight

[Canteen Boy]

This is where it fell from

[Canteen Boy]

This house, built in 1941, is down by the water on S. Royal St in Old Town, Alexandria, VA. I am gutting and remodeling it and have two more ceilings to drop.

[budbock]

Good Luck,chances are good there are more.I am a carpenter also,I have found a lot of good cans through the years but nothing of that caliber!

Lots of cans have been found behind walls during remodel. Some Examples below LEON.

Those pics are sweet, thanks!

Carpenters can be silly... and creative, but their love of beer is resolute!

Finding cans like that are what collectors dream about. It's the treasure hunt and thrill of the chase and it sounds like you are in a good line of business for finding more cans. Ever consider becoming a collector? You would be off to a grand start on a collection with a can like that being the first on the shelf. Congrats on your find and good luck on the search!

[Senator Seebs]

Awaiting Canteen Boy's updates with great anticipation.

[mmerrig]

Hey Canteen Boy,

I live in King George County, only about an hour away. Do you need any help in dropping those remaining ceiling? I'd be happy to assist you!

Cheers,

Mike Merrigan

We should mention the Clipper can found in California by an electrician, he gave it to the soon to be divorced owner[lady] of the house and it sold on Ebay for 19,299 Dollars. After the transaction was completed a different collector asked the lady; "Are there any more?" The next day the electrician found 12 more! There's gold in them there walls! Please keep us posted.

Just saw this post ... Guess I know why I didn't hear back from my emailed response to Canteen boy.

Nice find!

Did Canteen Boy drop the other ceilings? Were there more cans? Starting to think this is one of those stories that I may never hear/know how it ends.

[Leon]

What ever happened to Canteen boy?

[CMD]

he sold the can and moved on

[Leon]

Wonder how much he sold it for? Wonder if he got lowballed?

Last time he was in here was June 30th so I'm sure he read my comment here above from May 17th

Thats Gratitude

I must be getting slow in my old age. I just figured out that this is the can I bought from Gene. Gene said he got it from Dan. It cleaned up really well. The bad side is shown, and the nick and the scratch are all that remain. The other side is virtually flawless.
