Donald Duck soda flat tops

#1

Post by danielj »

Not beer cans but they are flats and rusty,
Im not really into soda cans but like the Donald Ducks.
I didnt dump any of these but I am pleased to
have 8 of them, I think all I need is the orange drink
can to have a type set.
Kinda a hard set to put togather, allmost 2 years of E bay searching and 2 trades to get this many, finally got the lemon lime this past week.
Seems the Cola and Lemon Lime have been the toughest to get.

That's quite an impressive set of flats! Be careful Dan...there's also alot of Donald Duck cones to be had. You might have to build yet another shelf. And when you get all those cones, you can start looking for the Donald Duck juice cans. Where does it all end?

Thanks for putting up the pic!

That's a neat group. I'm with you - as soda cans go, they're good labels. The only one I've ever dumped was the Orange, and I've kept it for donkey's years in case I ever find some more to go with it!

Now...start chasing those cones. Ought to keep you busy for several more years.

Mike, that was me! I forgot who I was going to trade with for those....have a tote of cans for trade!

Why drive 12 hour one way to dig Pre-Tax Tru Blu ales, Genny 12 Horse Longopeners, Gamecock Ales, Apollos, Neuweilers Bock, and Krueger’s Baldies when you can locally drive 10 hours round trip and dig Pfeiffer, Goebel, Drewrys and Strohs?

I've got a few Donald Duck cans too. Have not tried to complete a set though. The little cans are actually banks, that's another post altogether.

It's a Cont. Can Co. 4 code, small logo. I'd guess late 50's or early 60's. It's kinda cool since DD is winking.

Hi,
The orange drink is a pretty tough can to find. Are you going to collect the two variations? One with "contents..." and the other with "minimum contents..."
Best of luck,
Dave T
I collect one flavor of rare soda can generations. Also publish Collectible Soda Cans - don't hesitate to contact me with cans you have available or questions about old soda cans.

I've been following this thread and it really got me curious. I knew I'd dumped only one DD Orange something, and couldn't remember which. So I went and dug the can out...guess what?

ImageImage

Sort of surprised me, too, even though condition is lacking. A fair amount of fade, but the rust is probably nothing that a bucket of acid couldn't cure. Found it in the UP about 20 years ago.

So, anyway...there's Number Nine.

The Imatation strawberry can list ingrediants as
carbonated water,suger, artificial color, strawberry flavor,
citric acid, and less than 1/10 of 1% benzoate of soda.

The strawberry can list ingrediants as carbonated water, suger, citric acid, artificial color and flavor.
Maybe some FDA law made them include the Imatation on the label?
but than why arent there imitation grape,black cherry,and lemon lime cans?
They both sound pretty artificial to me.

I think I will go after both variations after I get a complete set,
might go after all the cones too.

Wheaton, thanks for posting the pic., I sent you a pm.

Donald Duct variations

#19

Post by elimin8 »

Dan,
There are two variation of the flats and cone tops and may also be some color variations. I found a pink DD Grape FT instead of the dark purple. I thought it was a lidded cone but it's the smae hight as the flat tops and appears to be original. Here is a link to see the ones in my collection. http://www.conetops.com/gallery.php
Good Luck, Jim

I've dug the Donald Duck cone tops in California from time to time. But through the years, I've dug a number of Donald Duck items. In that pit we got caught digging behind that one cabin, we dug these Donald Duck tins.

It's a small can.

I wonder how many products Disney licensed the Donald Duck name to? Fruit, pop, juice, you name, I've seen it. You'd have thought Mickey Mouse would have been more popular.

Jay, Since those were made in Chattanooga & I dump in north East Alabama I'm always hoping to find the Donald Duck cans, I do find Piles & Piles of Soda cans being Dry County but so far no Donald Ducks. LEON.

We don't find Donald Duck cans in the Northwest. I still see too much of him though because a certain University down the road uses Donald for their official mascot. I'm not kidding, they have a deal with Disney. Dumbo or Goofy would have been more appropriate from the look of their uniforms. :smt078

OK Pokey and Boardman, it's your turn. :lol:
