anyone need any pull-tabs?

[Eric70]

I still have tons of transition period pull-tab / stay tab foreign and domestic steel and aluminum cans if anyone wants to contact me with any wants. I sure would like some of these cans to find some good homes to display in...thanks alot...

Regarding cans from that era, I do have a short list of "ABC Book" cans that I am looking for. I will find it and send it to you.

[Eric70]

That's great Al, I look forward to it...I'll do all I can to get you what you're looking for...

Eric, my best friend, who now lives in Jersey, really likes the way cans display on a wall. He's not a collector, but he and his wife asked me to help them put an entertainment room together with a focus on breweriana. If you would set aside around 200 different domestic straight steel tabs (your choice), then I'll pay for them, plus the shipping to Jersey, and give them as his 50th birthday gift. We grew up in the Philadelphia area, so any PA cans would be good. Let me know if you are willing to do that. If you don't have that many, just see what you do have, and I'll look for more at Spring Thaw for him.Thanks

Eric,

This is what my list has been reduced to, and the last 15 that have come off the list are thanks to people on here. And I'd at least take a look at any transition cans you have from NJ.

Thanks Al, I have added your list to ones to look for..........and Keith R ....I may have 200 cans for your friend...I know I have a few cases of all the IRON CITY cans if that is something to start with....after I fill everyone else's want list then I'll let you know what is left over...thanks alot to everyone that's contributed so far...I think this will really help get alot of these cans to where they need to go....

Eric

[Eric70]

..Al, on your list I probably won't have the Coors Commemorative cans as I think most of these cans are mid/late 70s- early/late 80s....but I'll still check it out...


Eric

[Eric70]

I still have a few cases of Canadian and European cans as well in case anyone is interested on those...thanks alot,

Eric

Posting pics of what you do have is probably an easier way to do this. Your head might explode trying to remember all those brands/variations.

[Eric70]

I hear ya......but I think it would be tough for me to get the best possible photo picturing many cans...I don't mind the lists as i go and get what they're after, then send them separate photos of those specific cans...seems to be working so far....but the day is young yet...


Eric

[FLAFUN]

I'll definitely check it out Steve and let you know either way once I look them all over...

Eric

thanks

[Tom Clark]

I still need some Minnesota tabs and a few Busch tabs, pm sent.

[waste-man]

I am looking for any and all Hamm's cans. DO you have some of those? Thanks

[Eric70]

waste-man....no more Hamm's, sorry about that...but i will definitely keep you in mind when i do come across others...thanks for the reply..

Eric

[Eric70]

.....Thanks to everyone that contributed and contacted me regarding their want lists...I was able to help some of you out ,,,and sorry I wasn't able to get everyone's wants filled in some way.....I tried to get back personally to everyone that contacted me privately...if I missed you please send me a PM so I can get back to you....thanks again...and there still are plenty of the Canadian and European cans available..

Eric

[DrWho]

Any Dr. or Mr. soda cans available? Thanks. DrWho

[Eric70]

DrWho....sorry at this time I do not...I had several of each but traded them..now that i know you like those if i should come across any others I'll definitely see if you can use them...

Eric

[Eric70]

Do any of you guys know if this is a Coors test can at all?...I can't find its identification in the 12oz or test sections of the BCCA book...it comes close to some but does not match exactly. I know some of you guys have the other reference books and perhaps it is in one of them...I'll attach a couple of photos, In the second set of photos I have the can next to a standard size 12 ounce can so you can see that it is the taller version. You'll also notice on the photo of the bottom of the can that the previous collector from which all of these cans came from had his own inventory system in which he indicated the date that he got each particular can as well as what number can it was in his collection at the time.....Any ideas on what the year was here that he wrote?..looks like 71 but could be 77 or anything in between...I think once one of you are able to help identify the can then we'll know the date.....if any of you can use this can just let me know....thanks guys,

Eric

[Eric70]

....here are the other photos

[kamsquared]

Eric,
Its from the time period right around when the sta-tab came out so the 1977 date would be correct. These are relatively common and I would not call them a "test" can.....they are more like a limited run production can. I have seen several top opened. It came out at the same time as the classic 2 hole push button tops.

[Eric70]

Thanks alot for getting back, and explaining that to me kamsquared. It's always nice to get confirmation on these types of things especially when it comes to timelines and historical reference. I appreciate the comment and will note the fact that this should be referred to more as a limited run can and not as a test can. Thanks again, much appreciated.

Eric

Thank you, Eric! DrWho
