The flavors I've googled are orange, black cherry, & root beer. I assume that cola is the 4th. What is the value on a dumper Kewpie cola? I'm not looking to get rid of it because I'm starting to collect the dumpers I've found.
Just curious.....

Our resident guru, Dave Tanner, has the Kewpies rated as an R4--fairly common as a dumper but rare on-grade. They are not super tough as dumpers but very cool looking cans--one of my favorite designs.

That would be nice to see all 4 flavours on-grade!

I've got 3 of the 4 cans. None in on grade. Sussex is really close to Waukesha and started to capitalize on the Waukesha Water bandwagon by using the phrase "Waukesha County".
They are a lot tougher than Dan put in the book. Especially in higher grades.
I have seen grade 2 and 3 go for $50 to $75.
Grade 1 and 1- go for an easy $100 or more.
The mission cans with the Weber Waukesha lids you see around here very regular and a lot of dumpers.
The Kewpies don't come up a lot and a lot of the Waukesha history club members locally don't even have any.
