American Pickers vs Canadian Pickers

I watch both American Pickers and Canadian Pickers. My eyes are always combing the room they are picking. I can't help but notice Frank and Mike will wiff right past most breweriana. However Scott and Sheldon will sift through breweriana often picking some nice advertising as well as bottles and can...

What can you tell me about this can?

I picked up a dozen cans off of kijiji and this Schmidt was in there. It is still full. This isn't the can that made me move to purchase the whole lot but it was in there. I don't know much about US cans. Have I got anything here??

My kijiji near miss

So this appeared on Kijiji last Wednesday. I didn't see it until this past Monday and it had already sold. The whole lot for $200 CDN which is about $150 US. That works out to about $17.00 a can. A Dow cone for $17 has kept me up at night for the past few days. I don't know anything about US cones s...

Miller Zip Tab

so I asked the fella that sold me the Red Cap Ale if he had more. He mentioned that he had acquired a collection of 30- 40 cans a few years back. Of the 25 cans he pictured the Miller High Life caught my eye as it is a zip tab. Is there anything there worth pursuing?? He also sent me a pic of a Stro...

Re: Condition makes all the difference!

I bought one in that shape about 20 years ago for $90us and I got a second one about the same condition two years ago for $25 cdn. When it comes to off grade it is a crap shoot. I kept the $90 can and flip the $25 can

Good question, in 40 years of collecting I have never seen a clean one. The only ones I ever saw were the ones Dick A. dug and they were all off grade

This is a $15 dollar kijiji pick. About $11.50US. My jaw literally hit the table. Anyone on this forum that knows Canadian cans knows this is shocking. Let me retype that again, SHOCKING!!.

Re: Dick Adamowicz (RB #5)

I met Dick back in '86 at the Frankenmuth summer swap. I went home with a pile of Dick's Canadian rust. May of those cans are still on my shelf today. Dick would use a coloured dab of paint on the top or bottom of the cans to identify price. Even now, years later, I'll roll over a can at a show to s...

Re: Eh?

Well done on that Dorans. The ZIP version is much tougher can but it is the early label about 1967. I don't think it is regarded as rare but you rarely dig them. I can only recall digging that can once and it was on Manitoulin Island back in 2002.

I do phone repair in cottage country. I'm trucking through the woods today like a man no a mission and when I least expect it I stumble upon a garbage pit.

Re: Holy Grail item

I don't have a Bradings cone on my shelf. I dont' expect I ever will. I did a artilcle on Canadian cones and the crown that came with them. It was posted in the Canadian Breweriana newsletter a few years back. It looks very similar to the one I listed as the cap.
