Re: Woodys Croft find
Holy cow! I have heard the story several times, but the pics paint an even better picture. What year was this? It must qualify as one of THE BEST finds of all time? A beer can collectors dream find.

Bob, it was the summer of 2003. There were 1056 in all and every can was an Ale! He must not have been much of a beer drinker! Wood

Re: Woodys Croft find
Woody - I was glad to hear the story in person during the Seekonk show. An amazing find. Life changing I would say.
BTW, I am still loving the Drewrys Ale flat you sold me. It may be my favorite can or at least in the top 5!
Thanks again.

Re: Woodys Croft find
Wow!!!! 2003??? It doesn't seem that long ago!
I remember the call from Woody as if it was yesterday and the following weekend we were there and a bunch of us sitting in his basement cleaning and rubbing cans.Keith was the acid master. At the time I was a huge Croft collector and woody sent me home with the only one I needed an upgrade on and there was only 3 of those if I remember correctly. He also sent me home with an original Croft quart All Malt cardboard case box.
It's hard to believe it was that long ago.

Re: Woodys Croft find
Scott i'll send you the magazine so you can reAd the article. I was living in Montana and Dan CMD called me and told me about it. I called Woody and he was shocked that I knew about it. I told him we are worse than a old lady knitting. Woody sold me the last 24 16oz cones I did very well selling them. Good thing the New England guys like me so much, I bet they wish I lived closer.
