ANY INFO ON A FEW OF MINE

Ryan:

Of course, a few anyways but they didn't seem to survive the crawl spaces very well.

I do have maybe a half dozen beers and another half dozen sodas, but nothing that stands out , except maybe a diamond coke in pertly fair shape.

Most of my cans fit to bring home would of come from on top of the ductwork I was tearing out or sometimes from the attics.

The diamond coke come from inside the wall surrounding the freight elevator at the old American Standard Pottery factory here in town.

I do have a little verity, coffee cans, Pork and Beans , Condensed Milk, Drain Opener, Moth Balls, Floor Polish, Axel Grease, Aspirin tins, Exlax tins, flip top Band-Aid, mostly just oddball stuff.

Did you know rubbers (prophylactics) were sold in little round aluminum tins like a can of Skoll but smaller? I have no idea what went on down in the old coal room, but the tins and their contents would get thrown over the wall into the crawl space.

I also found in an attic a cardboard Battleship Coffee can with a paper label, packed full of grain elevator receipts dating 1909-11.

I think the forum mite need a category for cans too.

Have Leon take a look at this can, It strikes me as a reproduction. I know prolly less about cans than I do bottles. this one does have a leaded zipper looking seam on the back side, and a concave bottom if that means anything.
CONTENTS 12 FLUID OUNCES - INTERNAL REVENUE TAX PAID
TAVERN BEER
Brewed and filled by LA FAYETTE BREWERY, INC
LAFAYETTE, IND U.S.A.

Thanks

YES, I'm very very familiar with this cone top beer can. 2 Variations of this can. One with "INTERNAL REVENUE TAX PAID" across top & one without it. Being Internal Revenue tax paid as yours is Dates it before March of 1950 but after 1946 so 1947-early 1950. This can is priced at $125 in book in excellent shape. this can looks to be good condition but far from Excellent or mint. If you were to grade this a 1- book say's worth 50% of book price or around $60 bucks. I'd pay $60 for it if Interested in selling? Let me know. Did you find any other beer cans? Check out my Beer Can post in link below. THANKS, LEON.

Ryan :
I passed on anything less that half as rusty as them KRUEGER"S, who would of ever thought.
Most of the crawl space cans I would find only looked like that on one side or where ever it made contact with the dirt, and I would leave it in the hole.

I only kept that other rusty cone top because I though it was unique, and I hadn't seen many cone tops.

I'm still learning from you guys. Before I got here that was a funnel top beer can. I just found out that my Diamond Coke can is really a Small Diamond Coke can. I kind of always though my cone top was a reproduction even.

So Leon, let me ponder that generous offer. I don't know if I want to cut louse with my first cone top yet or not. I will keep you in mind.

Thanks for the comments and the warm welcome guys.

I'm starting to think I want to go dig up my parents sistren or see if I can find the outhouse.
Any ideas how to find? I do have a nice probe. How does one find an old dump site?

I'm sure it's all right here on the forum, I know I got allot of reading to do.

I mite need to go to rehab. Think I could be addicted already.

Thanks again and keep them comments coming,

Ray

These prolly common too.

I would guess it to be an oil bottle, 5" tall x 2" wide at it's widest point near the base
on the bottom you see - 3 U 430

And then the shot glass thingie, 3.5" tall x 2.1/8th wide at it's widest point.
With nothing but a large capitol M on the bottom.

Tell me what you think.

Thanks

The 10.5 OZ Jumbo Peanut Butter I spoke of.

I cleaned this little bottle up best I could, and it's still dirty

2.5" tall x 1.75" wide x aprox 0.5" thick. it does have a seam all the way up the sides and over the lip, and what looks like a seam around the base also.

The seam around the base has some rough edges or places that feel like you could shave with it when you rub your finger around the bottom edge

Would this be a pontel mark on the base of this bottle? I hope the picture is good enough to tell.

Would be glad to hear any comments.

Thanks

Ray

hi,your last two bottles are interesting,the purx has what that call inverted imbossing,and in some places the bottle is not rear,the stile is,few bottels use this imbossing.by the way,it was made in the 1930s,the other bottel heled a candal.
