Beer Can Collection

May 16, 2022 9:51 PM

When I was born, my dad was working as a long-haul trucker. He went to all of the lower 48 and collected beer cans from every state. Most of the cans in these pics still have beer in them, and almost every single one still has it's pull-tab intact. Some had been drained when he bought them because he wanted to drink the beer. He would poke holes in the bottom of the can to drain the beer. The cans hold much more value if the pull-tab is intact. The have since been drained and boxed up. Now I need to figure out what I'm going to do with them. Any suggestions?

There are quite a few complete collectors series. One of my favorites is the Olde Frothingslosh series. There are a bunch of Iron City cans with Steelers and Pirates.

See anything you recognize? A lot of these beers haven't been made in decades!

I really like the Schmidt's Nature Series!

You can make some can sized shelves and display them

Ive always wanted to make a bar top out of bottle caps and epoxy. I know it would completely remove any $ value, but what if you cut them

down/flat and used the cans for a base layer on a bar top? That could be cool and pretty unique.
