I dug a bunch of cans recently, I saw your reply in my post. There were plenty of Pabst, some Narragansett Beer and others. There was also a bunch of oil cans and such. A Rumford Baking Powder, and one with a masked man on the front. I'll get some pics for you if you're interested.

 

[hemihampton]

Hey Leon,

Is that your Budweiser test can crowntainer in your group photo, and the only existing one known? I saw on ebay in 2006 when it was bid up to over $23,000 but didn't meet the reserve. Got some media attention, too. If I remember right, it was relisted and sold but can't remember the final price. Nice pick up if it's yours!
