Now that the leaves are covering all my potential dump sites and digging's drawing to a close for the season, I have started hitting more estate sales.
Was striking out till I spied this Wiedemann's Bohemian Beer cone can for only FIVE DOLLARS! and to top it off, it's still full! These date from the mid-late 30s to the 50s, but since this has the Internal Revenue Tax Paid spiel, it's before 1950. This style can is known as a "Crowntainer". I dig a fair number of cones in dumps but in this day and age they are rusted beyond saving. So nice to find one still in the wild above ground and in great shape. It made my day...and week.
