Harvey tried his best to drown us, but we were very fortunate to weather the storm.

I attended the Houston Antique bottle show yesterday during early admission and came home with a couple of surprises. The Cook's 500 is all original, bottom opened with vanity lid.

Re: How do you display cans with special tops? (tax stamps etc.)

I use glass display cases with glass shelves and space between so the tops can be seen weather they are flats or cones with caps. Also leave space between the cans so almost all of the cans can be seen with the mirror backing minimizing the amount of handling. Not an efficient use of space by any me...

Yes, it was three more of the same Jacob Ruppert Ale's. :cry: Here is the quart that was found with them. Not the usual suspect for this label, this one is the less frequently seen Crown version (no ribs in the cone).

Pretty sure I have seen many of those crowns or very similar and also thinking that should be on a low profile or IR cone rather than a high profile cone. It was up for $850 last round. :roll: Thinking the decimal must be in the wrong spot, $7.50 starting bid?
