I like that Nelson Whiskey, looks Pre-Pro. Was it found with the label?Your Ruppert Knickerbocker is a bit newer find, probably dates 1950-1960's.

Those cigarette packs could be the best finds there, I don't know that stuff but it's a big area of collecting and certain cardboard things can be really rare since you can't dig them. Bottle caps are likely really rare as well, I don't think I've ever seen an embossed crown cap. Also, that's weird that your blob bottle is unembossed, I'm not sure I've ever seen one of those with a blank slug plate before. It's kind of annoying to find one of those because it's really rare to find one but they're only worth a couple bucks and aren't really collectible.

Yeah soo far those two cig packs are the best finds it seams. Like you said you can't dig them up and it has to be a super dry condition or else the cardboard will rot

I don't like 62 Falcons but that one is kinda cool as a 4 door wagon. LEON.
