Question about Cream Can

[ironmountain]

Friend has a cream can he wants to sell off. No idea what it's worth or where it came from (dairy co-op etc). posting pic of it and pic of the embossing on the handle. not sure if that's just the company that made it or the dairy/co-op it came from.

Avg selling range would help too! thanks.

engraving.

Considering the age, and the fact it's unembossed or debossed has to be minimal from what I see on Fleabay.... $10-20 IMO

The size would help it, at least in my area, don't see them in that size down here too often, but I think epackage is right on with his estimate...might be able to get 25 for it on a good day

I agree Adam the size really helps it , being a no namer kind of hurts it some , they do not show up in my area either . I bought a dandy at auction once , it was a two gallon with German embossing . Just guessing it might have actually been a cream can considering it was just a two gallon size . Have never seen another in that size , wish I had never sold it now .

thanks for the input. Started out just selling a 5gal Redwing butter churn for him and progressed to :

an A&W amber syrup jug with partial label, old tins, tonka toys from the 60's (going to part them out..way more money doing that unless it's in great condition), a couple older picnic jugs (sealtite), Skotch tin picnic basket and a very old ash picnic basket with LB initials for a maker. He said this is just the beginning. might have to start taking a %.
