Re: Cleveland Rocks
Beautiful Noch Eins! My goal is to find a Schaeffer can with the Cleveland mandatory...the Columbus cans have blow my budget for the next few months...
Looking for Blue Ben Brew 3.2

Re: Cleveland Rocks
Always liked the Brownie, Does it have any touch up? Have Menke black light it? LEON.

Re: Cleveland Rocks
The grand prize Powerball winner is the person I'm most jealous of today. However, Mark is a closer second than most might think.

Re: Cleveland Rocks
The two Ohio flats are upgrades, and the Noch-Eins replaces the example I lost in the deal for the Philipsburg Old German J-Spout years ago.
The Brownie does have some touch-up in the brown, mostly below the white stripe. The can has a weird paint loss thing going on and it appears that there was a partially successful attempt to remove the touch-up. I don't like touch-up, but the can is so scarce in decent shape and so much of the can is so good that I had to get it.
The Old St. Louis Ale has some marker touch-up in the red top right and left, but the can is so rare that you simply can't allow that to be a concern. I was unaware that a decent offgrade example existed.
The Valley Forge is one for the 1935 "Phalanx of Gay Armored Cans" group and is from the collection of my friend Bob Porter.
The three on the right were last night's take, the three on the left came from the trade floor today. I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds, but I've had a tremendous show already.

Re: Cleveland Rocks
Ho-ly-cow Marc!!!
Old St Loius ale, are you kidding me! Brownie, & Red top ale! (the white one) DANG!!!
That Valley Forge is impossible!
I have to ask- what variation is the Noch-Eins?
Wow! You could pack up and still be thrilled with your 2 day take!
Awesome.

Re: Cleveland Rocks
Neil,
The Old St. Louis Ale alone would have been a great show, everything else is icing on the cake. I really wanted something from Bob's collection to remember him by, and I was quite surprised that the Valley Forge was still available - it would have been my first choice out of everything Bob had. The Noch-Eins is the DNCMT 3.2% variation - the common one, but cleaner than most. It's fresh out of the collection of an Ohio collector who decided to cut back to just flats.
I've probably walked about 12 miles already, but I've been richly rewarded for doing so.
Gotta run . . . trade floor opens in two minutes!

Re: Cleveland Rocks
I saw two that were riding pretty close to the border between grades 4 and 5 many years ago, but that's it for me until now.

It was indeed a pleasure to meet you as well.
Myth? Legend? Phooey - I'm just a guy who cares a little too much about old beer cans and likes to learn and talk about them.
