Dang that rust!

In nice shape the flat top Old Reading says $125 in the book. The Rolling Rock $12. The book's prices are like any other price guide as far as being more of a guide than anything else, but it does reflect the rarity difference between your Old Reading and the more common Rolling Rock.

Hopefully you will find some flats or cones without all the rust.

Thanks for that info, Carling. Darn. Those two cans would get me an eye exam and some new glasses or a tooth filling. Hemihampton said rust wasn't a huge problem and could be removed. Anything we could do about it? Or, is there anyone who would is interested in them and can fix it? Hopefully, we can get some more cans.

I don't think you can ever get rid of all the rust to make it "like new" and thus get top value. But the less rust, the better the price. I've never tried it, but here's one guy's method to remove rust.

This is from the Rusty Bunch web site......beer can collectors who go dumping for beer cans. You can also do a search on their web site by putting in "removing rust" and see what other methods members have used.
