My Big find

[Flaschenjager]

Hey Brad -
Nice discovery! I do know the feeling. I made a little bit larger haul like this years ago in an attic. A brief story w/ some examples of each is on my website. We sold most of them for a good chunk of money, but could have done much better. Here's a link:

Hi Nice finds by both of you its true Old cans are worth a second look or picking up. A Centlivre in nice shape is worth $1000s there are countless cans worth alot.
Here is my find under a crawl space............

and here is what i collect anyone have any?

Hi Sizzle not real sure I was wondering a little about it here is front of it.
Says "for pikes peak" Old Rye
I build concrete seawalls and bottles are always showing up mostly 1900s and newer.I found this one digging into bank to make a swimming area on Sylvan Lake.
seams there was a old train depot in that spot.Also fround a libery nickel there as well.
besides bottles I found a IU class ring,model T parts,and a host of other things.in other lakes

This is from Snow Lake I love old beer cans as well....................

and on Sylvan again a 1950s Berghoff bottle just before they closed 1953...............

Pikes Peak is a pretty good bottle. I'll give you a nice crisp new $20 bill for it. Just don't research it any farther or you might ask for quite a bit more. [8|] Swizzle

do you have a good before-and-after can soaking picture - I used to have a few saved on my computer but cant seem to find them - I think some of the readers might find it interesting

I would like to see how you restore old cans. That does seem like it'd be a very interesting process. Swizzle
