Whose stupid idea was it to do this anyway..... Until near the end of Sunday's games I had tied myself for 31st place! I'm reduced to trash talking myself. Romine won't even take my calls anymore....

Re: We Know It Was Produced But None Are Known to Exist

Does anyone know the MN collector who saw invoices for Robin Hood beer? I think it had to be Metz not Storz as they seem to have continued with the brand after 1937. BTW it probably was beer not Ale- Fontenelle and then Metz both seem to have just made beer.

Re: M. Frahm & son city brewery Davenport Iowa 1890's

That thing is awesome! looks like it was just Mathias Frahm from 1850 to 1884 and then M Frahm and son from 1884 to 1894 when they became part of the Davenport Malting Co group. Andy

Re: Paper Label Crowntainers- Our story so far

I confess I just threw the Bock label up as I had nothing at all on the Schlitz Bock can. Very curious to see how close they are other than the Bock font and that mine has a date and the can does not.... Does a Schlitz specialist know if that means it really is a mock up and not regular production c...

Sorry to hear it was a problem can but sure seems solid that way. Have you ever seen anything other than a Jordan or Gluek on the plain striped crowntainer? Weird it was just two Minnesota breweries using them.

I'm with Steve on this- The bane of specialization is when you get too close to completion and the degree of difficulty to add anything goes up and up.

Re: Perone Quart!

I'd agree it seems strangely low for what that can is too. Only 4 items over 10k and one a sign. In a lot of the cans under 5k I thought of things seemed rather reasonable... maybe that's just after the years of shock and awe. Heck, I even won something today (Robin Hood sign).... Andy
