Even in a crawlspace old paper labels can deteriorate or become "flakey", so this type of stuff is really cool to find in such nice condition. (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 25

Years ago when I lived in Cincinati I was into bottles and beer cans equally, I was fortunate enough to live on the old county (Boone County, Ky) fairgrounds and was the first to do any digging = hordes of cans.  I really liked the cone tops, and the popular brand at the fairgrounds was "Barbarossa Beer."  I had several gorgeous (they are very ornate cans) quart Barbarossa and other local cones on display in our utility/treasure room.  My maw loved my bottles but couldn't stand the cans.  One day I came home from school to find she had thrown my entire can collection away.  I was distraught for some time, to this day I have never resumed collecting cans - when I have found good ones I have always given them to a buddy of mine who is a collector. Most of my Ohio stuff is in the 1880 -1900 range = hutches, ponies, export/champagne blobs - think you want older stuff (you are not alone).   (in reply to Lordbud) Post #: 26

Bummer,my wife was really excited when I drug in boxes of rusty cans.   I have never dumped for cans,but probably passed up many good ones while dump hunting.I think it would be fun to find a bunch of beers like you dig.I know what to looked for now,so if I find the right dump I'll hunt them.I imagine a 40's-50's dump with alot of cans would be alot better than  20's-30's dump bottles. _____________________________ I WOULD LIKE TO BUY OR TRADE FOR YOUR COLORED,AND OR EMBOSSED CATHEDRAL PEPPERSAUCE BOTTLES.I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR EMBOSSED MIDWESTERN ALES IN ANY COLOR.

Where these Quarts in a can or bottle? Appliedlips, Since the first Beer can was made in 1935, 1935- prewar 1942 are the best years for dumps to find these beer cans. LEON.
