Here is my O-So ACL bottle, and my other O-So identical but intact which I found under a bridge--along with the largest water snake I have ever seen. If ever Mona Lake had a lake monster, that'd be it. That, and whatever it was that attacked me last kayaking trip... It jumped out of the water, hit my back, and went back in only leaving water and lake plant from the shallow, narrow marshland creek I was kayaking up. Needless to say, I turned around and left.

An overview of all I found and an odd green bottle full of swirls. By the way, the can says Firewax, not Tirewax--it's to start fires. Also found a green concentrate bottle of sorts for I'm thinking orange juice.

As for the beers RES1CUE mentioned, they were pretty far gone. I did bring back one beat-up Budweiser can because I thought it'd go nicely with the unsalvageable Miller can. You would have loved the Old Milwaukee I found not long ago, but left on the riverbank. It was older style, and in very nice condition. Still, I sadly forgot it. :(
I do have what I think is a 1980s beer can that is from Olympia Beer. Found it in the Lake--my first can. I let it float to shore, and took it home. Pretty nice, albeit faded some, for being underwater thirtysome years. There was a cone-top beer in Three Sisters Antique Store here in Muskegon if you're interested in it.

Here is my Firewax can on Ebay, mint condition, from 1962.
I don't know when the Hamm's is from. Anyone know?
The O-So is early 1960s, I believe.
The Foundry Truckers piece I also believe to be a lighter!
The Dairy bottle should be 1956.
Anyone know anything on the insulator-thing??
The truck tire seems to be 1950s from what I've gathered. Shame the chassis is gone with the other three.
My Roman Bleach Patent Applied for bottles had a red and white cap originally, seen through the rust.

I would need to see the tops pull tab opening to help nail down age of Hamms but so far early 60's to late 60's. What name was the Conetop at Antiques store? What color, what it look like? How much? LEON. Pic of 5 different tops below.

I sadly can not recall, but the condition was good overall and I think they wanted close to $15. It was tri- or dual-color.

Nice Colt 45s--similar to my bottle's top. From left to right, what decades were those tops used in?
I might be able to get back to the antique store on Saturday and bring my camera along. I almost picked it up, but don't colelct cans so I saved my money.
