Guy screwing around with my head sent me this picture today. Staged or not, it’s a very cool picture of a super rare & cool can.

Paul, Did you wish him “Happy Mother’s Day”? LOL. That would have been an incredible find.

Mine is 95% or more covered with humidity like that one and came from a guy who quit collecting in the early 1980's. The story I've heard is that several were found in that condition in the basement of a house that had burned down. I've seen four or five in very similar condition over the years, and would love to know more about the find.

Staged- there's plenty of that black wall dust down in there, but not a speck of it on the can that might have been sitting there for 70 years!

In a related story, I just got my certification to become a home inspector. I swear on my Kent Ale I'll never fake a picture- here's hoping every hundredth house will have something to find.
Better to drive 950 miles and kick asz than go a thousand miles and get nothing.
