Porcelain beer tops?>>With picture. - 4/12/2006 1:08:14 AM    Cal Digger   Posts: 7 Joined: 4/11/2006 Status: offline Hi All, I'm brand new to the forum. I hope this is the right section to post this. There's a spot I dig for bottles out here in California and I found these beer tops on one trip digging there. I'm still hoping I'll dig matching bottles one day. Does anyone collect porcelain tops like this? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

The enamaling is usually long gone before I dig them up. Those are in very nice shape.

Definitely collectible, I think I saw a picture of a guy at a bottle show in ABGC magazine that wore a necklace made out of them. Not sure of value without the bottle but almost everything is collectible especially western stuff. (in reply to Cal Digger) Post #: 3

Believe it, or not, I have sold the scarcer ones for as much as ten bucks each. Common ones go for 50 cents and up to a dollar. Golden gates are easy $5. Mike (in reply to Cal Digger) Post #: 4
