Bert, that's the "little" I had mentioned. It resembles a lip balm--and so I thought it was, at first-- I have seen in plastic (you squeeze it, it comes out) but this one is glass!
Here are the 1940s cans--told ya' they were wrecked!

Here is the vintage or antique saw I had stumbled across--I went to the lake afterwards (yesterday) so I can imagine what people must have thought about my carrying a saw to the beach! Lol. Some milk-glass items--the smaller one says POND'S on the base.

A floor-wax can I pulled out. The colors are better than what it looks.
Random purple Gladiola.

Bricks! I have many debossed bricks for the edging of the sidewalk-pond out front. These two might go there, but I'll have to move some others.

The 16 0z Drewry's can is from 1962. Known as a zip top pull tab. The White Black Label cans even though they have a 1949 date they are from the early 1950's. Only the Black Label cones come from the 1940's. Those wrecked Black Label cans could be straightened & saved but have little value & not really worth the effort. If they were Black Label Bocks, then they would be rare cans well worth the effort & some money. RESC1UE Member Ted could straighten those & you should take him with you to find some more, He lives near you. LEON.

One is missing a goodly amount of the back. I just showed their pretty end--someone opened one upside down. Lol. Both are rusted through and are in dire need of a patch-job. I only brought them back because of the date, else I'd have left them where I found them: outside the airport-perimeter fence-line. Thanks for all the information, man!

If you leave a can like that behind how do you know your not leaving behind a rare can worth big bucks? If those were bocks it would of been a big mistake to leave behind. Bring any can you find home, I'll tell you if it's a good rare one or not. LEON.

I'll bring the cans home, and if you or Res1cue want them, I'm sure an arrangement can be made as I don't do cans. Leon, I'd say mine're both worse than those! Why are those worth more than these?
