There are many one-of-a-kind OI cans in the Lilek book. The list below provides where these cans are located, if known, by state (not collector name). Many of the current owners want to remain anonymous, which will be respected here. As a result, only the current state of residence will be listed below. I’ll edit the list as information comes in, either as posted below or sent to me via PM. Here goes:

There's a new RARE CANS forum here that should be utilized for this, the Triangle Thread and also some of the "lost cans" threads.
http://www.therustybunch.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=272" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It would go a long way to keeping track of this stuff once a conversation with solid intel begins.

Hey Dave,

I can help locate one of the below listed cans.....or at least shed a bit of light on it.

I wrote an article in the Rustlings last year (it pays to be a member) about my find of the Lilek #565. Big thanks for the help from Rand on this one when I found them.

Here is a thread about it also.

The Brown Derby really floats my boat, and thanks to Gene I got to fondle it a couple years ago. I saw the Lubeck at Dave Stark's house before the OI book was out, and it floored me.

Congratulations - are all three new acquisitions?

I knew Gene had the two, but I wasn't sure about the Salute. That's quite a power trio, but the Neuweiler's Bock tops them all in my book, even with two real nice ones out there. Gene had both of them at one point. I don't know whether he kept the mug or the salesman's sample can. I've got a big goat coming too, maybe next weekend.

I'm not sure Dave is still maintaining the list. It got little response back in 2016, and I haven't seen him post recently. Several cans didn’t belong on the list because the original source information was incorrect, and several more no longer belong because cans have turned up.

I heard about the find of the Yorkshire Ales, but I never heard much in the way of a story. I think I heard garage sale? I'd love to hear the details and see photos of the cans.

Dave hasn't been in here in 2 years & pops in about once every 3 years on & off. Hard to keep track of a list you started at that rate :smt017

He didn't get much of a response either. Tracking all of the stuff that moved into, then back out of, Indiana would have been a fool's errand anyhow, not that anyone could have known that at the time.
