Just put a few up on Ebay

[treasurekidd]

Nothing big, local stuff mainly but I thought I mention it here in case anyone's interested. A Rhode Island med, a Mass milk, a Boston citrate / fire extinguisher bottle, a blob beer from Chester, NJ, apair of nice crude aqua strap sided flasks and a few other items. Thanks for looking!

Hey Ratbastard, vintage spray paint cans are highly collectible and the right ones sell for MUCH more than you'd think. Old Krylon, Rustoleum, Dutch Boy, and a few others can have quite a demand - full, empty, doesn't matter. Old paint store displays fetch a pretty penny too. I don't collect it myself, but I keep an eye out for it at flea markets and yard sales because there is a market for it. I paid $1 for that can at a flea market, and it's got a $9.99 bid with three watchers, and its only day 1 of the auction.

Check out this recently ended auction:

It may not seem very collectible to you and I, but if you think about it, how many people would find it strange that we dig trash dumps and outhouses for old bottles? One mans trash, ya know?

Idk, hand blown glass is a far cry from metal trash from the 60's... I sell the stuff myself but I just cant figure out why
