Re: English lad find
Found in a fire station while remodeling 30+ years ago, kept the cans in his garage in a Harvard wood crate. Says he would kick the box of cans around when they were in his way. Filled with sawdust from his profession, he finally decided to get rid of them. Owner was planning on putting them in a yard sale for $5.00 per can.

I don't know about that, but the Wacker Crowntainer looks great when the colors are strong.

Re: English lad find
Dan, Just saw this thread. Thanks for posting the background story of where/how they were found. The cans are fantastic but the story is so real. Imagine the firefighters drinking these back in the day on an off day or after a hard days work. Maybe there are more cans in that fire station or others around the country.
