Amazing. It's like a museum.

Great to see all the various displays and ways cans/signs/bottles are incorporated together.

Very, very nice and thanks Rand for posting the pix!

I assume that is Pokey in the Black and white shirt? Haven't met him. Always good to place a face to the name.......

REALLY, REALLY nice collection. Thanks for sharing!

Classy room! I like the way are presented. In my top 3, as far as can rooms go. 2 cans I picked out right away. Golden Crown and 16oz Busch Slow Cold. Love those cans!

Cheers

B E A utiful! What an awesome collection! The Soda can collection is off the hook! I can't recall ever seeing pictures of a line up of Pabst cans anything like that nor seeing that 12oz Dr. Pepper flat. Gotta love those Olive Drab cans and Cab lights, the entire layout is top notch! Thank you Rand for sharing all of the pictures! Thank you to Pokey for sharing his collection, truly inspirational! :smt023

Thank you for all of the nice compliments. Great photos Rand! It was a lot of fun having the open house for everyone. Showing off your collection to people who really appreciate what they are seeing is a real rush. Rand got a special one-on-one tour since he missed the regular tour.

Any Rusty Bunch member that is in the Portland area is more than welcome to come see it in person. Just let me know.

It was really like nothing else I'd seen - so many arrangements of cans and breweriana by brand or brewery - neat room that was more than the man cave but a room to live in - that's the coolest when your room is where you just hang and spend most of your time when at home with the family or friends
Collector of Nebraska cans and breweriana, Colorado cans, tall straight steel US cans, and cans I like!
