Re: Top 10 Michigan cans

Great cans. I've looked at my Ale can many times and I can't see any sign that it is a paint over. There is no primer visible along the seam. I've shined a light on it and looked signs of a label under the paint. I don't see anything. Plus why would I rub out a 1 of 2 known cans hoping for a rarer c...

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans

I picked up this previously unknown, at least to me and the other Michigan specialists I asked, enamel paint Goebel Bantam Ale can. After posting photos on FB a couple of times, a second example has shown itself. It also has the gear marks under the top rim. Thinking it probably came from the same p...

Beautiful can!

Any chance you could find time to snap images of the four sides and the lid and send it to the Supplement Team? They could then document the Zip as existing and documented.


(MI-Cans)
I can do that. Are there any specs for what they are looking for?

Re: BOSCH HOUGHTON ,MICH

I tried for years with no luck to get one of the few Bosch Premium Beer zip dumpers that had been found. Then I was picked up this indoor example of a Bosch Premium Beer zip a few years ago in an online auction. Might be the only indoor known.

Re: Morean Auction 8-28-2022

I do not normally watch Dan's auctions but I made an exception this time because of the olive drab Fox Deluxe from Grand Rapids. I realize it's a really tough can but $3,420 plus fees for a can in degraded condition? I guess somebody decided since they don't come up that often, they were going to g...

Re: big fish...

I'm not a big fan of nets either. I have a fold up net I keep tucked away under a seat until needed. Usually only needed on big fish and tournament day when you don't want to loose a fish. You need to get a net with rubber netting. Much easier on the fish and the hooks don't get stuck it it. Also, i...

Wow that fish had some shoulders. Getting hooks in you sucks enough, but to have the fish rip them out.... That is hard core.
