Old Beer Can

[JustGlass]

Picked this up the other day while picking for bottles. Don't know much about it but it was priced right and I have never seen one like it before so I had to have it.

Interesting can, I haven't seen that type of beer can closure before. Hemi will know about it.

Yes, I'm very familiar with these. They are a pretty common quart size cone top from the 1950's. Comes in 3 main variations. The gold can like yours, the blue can & the then the red,white & blue can. In mint 1+ condition they can get as much as $200.00 but in a rusty dumper or offgrade condition like yours more like $25.00 possibly $50 max. Is it still full. Being full usually adds zero to value unfortunately. Being full can have negative affect on condition. LEON.

Thanks for the info. I picked it up for $30 with plans to resell it. I'm not a can collector so it will go on ebay soon with hopes of making a few bucks or breaking even. It isn't full and is empty.

Ebay is unpredictable so never know what it might get there, could sell high or low you never know. Good Luck. LEON.
