Mystery Conetop...

[DanielinAk]

Ok all you killer experts here is a mystery conetop i found a couple weekends ago and just soaked it tonight. I have no idea what it is.

Here are the mystery can's from that hunt

And here it is cleaned.

Looks like it was burned in a camp fire? LEON.

[DanielinAk]

Wild fires had been through the area. Good catch on that Leon.

Oh man that looks like it. When it gets light enough I'll try and look at it more closely. Thanks bud.

Well, now I'm thinking Burger. The letters are located a little higher in the oval, either way very cool. Pics purged from EBay. Bjorn

I thought buckeye at first but its very hard to tell. And you are finding all kinds of cans from all over the country over there!

[DanielinAk]

I believe it's the Burger Ale as there is not much room from the top of the word to the edge of the circle going around.

bantam I haven't been back to check the site out where I found it. I figure there has to be more nearby buried that the fires missed. As for finding different ones from around the country I couldn't tell you where the burger ale is from or how old it is.

I don't know where Zinzinnati is- nefer been ther, but the Burgers are from Ohio. Bjorn

One of the other mystery can's turned out to be a Rainier Jubilee

And the other was this Olympia.

[bantam10]

Older than a Jubilee for sure

[DanielinAk]

All I have found are jubilees and that's all I know. Does anyone have a photo out of the book so I can see it.

Early post war with that five tooth seam so 46 to 48

Cool. I love it when I get dates. I threw it in the trash bucket. I may have to recover it until o find a better one

[bantam10]

I thought it was the first rainier can at first glance. The first can is the rare $1000+ book value can.

[DanielinAk]

Oh man that would have been sweet. What's that can look like?

[bantam10]

[DanielinAk]

I so need to buy that book

[DanielinAk]

I took a closer look and mine looks just like the number 8 in the book. The one to the far right.

[bantam10]

It could be but I thought one of these two

[DanielinAk]

Oh yeah I see the difference and it could be that one also

[DanielinAk]

Does the book show the back side of the can's?

[bantam10]

Here's one I saw at a show a few years ago

[DanielinAk]

Thats insane

[bantam10]

Does the book show the back side of the can's?

Only on major variations

[DanielinAk]

Gotcha

[Leon]

Lileks O.I book would show the backs & sides. LEON.
