Found a Holy Grail Soda Can!

#1

Post by dtsoc »

This is a brand I have been looking for for 15+ years, since I first new it existed. The Bates books listed the canning company as existing, but did not show an actual can. In the last 15 years, I have seen three pretty off-grade examples, including the two pictured in the book. I did see another example of the root beer, that was really poor, but I was unable to get a picture of it.

Finally got this one!

Nice can. I see 3 different flavors in book. I bet there is more flavors but I wonder how many more? Congrats. LEON.

Actually came from a fellow collector who found it at a flea market (I think). Hard to believe it was just sitting on a table like that!

Dave,

Fabulous can! Congratulations! The only other I've seen was in Gene Judd's collection before he started to disburse it. Actually, he may have had two flavors.....I can't quite remember.
