Big Cat no stripes

#1

Post by oldmoneytexan »

I know of one other, and oddly enough it's here in Texas. The owner wouldn't sell it, and then this popped up on eBay. Been after it for a long time.

Appears to be enamel. Paintover? More than a mere misprint?

Wow, didn't even know that can was out there. Not something you'll see in every tote at every show.

Straight steel with a glued (?) type seam. Seller says the can is rolled. Wonder if they all are, like the Red Bird cans.

I like it!

That is an interesting can that will certainly stand out as being very different on the shelf, and I'd imagine you're thrilled with the price. I expect it would have gone much higher if more people were aware of the can.

Are you able to date the can, or at least place it in the lineage of the brand?

Second place loser here....wayyy too many nice cans being offered for my fun money. Had to bow out early due to another can popping up. That is a great score! Not so sure on the lid choice- Ziphippie
