Cone Top Beer Cans and Flat Top Beer Cans

[kansas]

I have been collecting vintage beer cans since the mid-1970's. I have narrowed my collection to mint condition cone top and flat top cans from the 1930's through 1950's. They are getting harder and harder to find. Every once in a while, I will find cans that were in old buildings, escaping the elements. Last year I purchased 250 cans that were found in a crawl space of a home. All were near mint and were from the 1950's. Here's a few photographs of cans in my collection.

Those are great! I can remember when I was in high school it was a cool thing to collect old beer cans. Now those collections are probably sitting in attics or crawl spaces just waiting for you.

I collected in the mid seventies. It was quite a fad!
I have garbage bags full of them in my Mom and Dad's barn, and I'm sure that, like p-joe says, there are many, many more stashed away!

That a cool collection, the only other one I have ever seen was in the Barrow museum in Eola Tx. They had about 70-80 cans in various conditions.
