RE: WANTED: BEER CANS - 11/23/2008 1:05:37 PM    hemihampton   Posts: 482 Joined: 10/6/2006 Status: offline Ron, Yes I'd be Interested to see what you have. Wilkie, That clipper is common in dumper offgrade condition but impossible to find nice indoor or mint like the one that got $19k on ebay. That one on ebay at that time was nicest one know. I got a rough dumper now that cost me $5.00. Wally Gilbert, A Antique dealer in Escondido California near San Diego made a find of quite a few of those Clippers (possibly hundreds) in the 70's found under a Bars Dance floor. They were nice but kinda rough grade 2. I bought one from him for $200. That Acme you posted has 4 variations & books for $10-$15. Common can but well worth the $2 bucks. LC, That Pulaski is a 1970's reproduction cone made from Automotive additive can with a flat bottom. Never contained Beer & just a novelty can. Price on that is $5.00. BUT, I've seen 2 newbies on ebay get on a bidding war thinking it's real & buy for $50+ unfortunately. Ron, Post Pics.

I guess there is nothing sacred anymore when it comes to antiquity . (in reply to hemihampton) Post #: 46

RE: WANTED: BEER CANS - 11/23/2008 6:14:51 PM    hemihampton   Posts: 482 Joined: 10/6/2006 Status: offline LC, If you look at your other original rusty cones you'll notice they all have curved concaved bottoms. 99% of all beer cans have concaved curved bottom. The 1% are the late 1935-early 36 inverted ribbed low profile cans, a few American can co. cones & some early j-spout cones. all from the 1930's.

I'm headed to Kansas, Missouri and perhaps two other states next week, to dig. Won't be back until about June 14th, so I will take you to the spot then. If you can call me before then, I'll give you directions. Bill _____________________________ Michigan drugstore bottles/dose glasses, jugs, etc... Any paper from Mich drugstores, pre 1900.
