Ed Kennell 35,965 #1 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Anyone remember these? For sale on ebay for $499. I must have destroyed $10,000 dollars worth of these when I turned them into ash trays by tapping the top of the cone with a ball peen hammer till the cone was inverted down into the can.

CasualObserver 3,406 #2 Posted November 21, 2016 That's why they're so expensive to collectors now... just like old Wheel Horse's! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPINJIM 1,978 #5 Posted November 21, 2016 Not only "for sale" on ebay, but SOLD today for $499. Anyone from Pennsylvania knows Rolling Rock, but I can't believe that someone is crazy enough to spend that much on a can of beer that's probably skunky tasting. Reminds me of the wine collector who spend $5000 on a bottle of wine that he opened and it had turned to vinegar. Some people have more dollars than sense. But then I can't believe that someone on ebay is asking $110 for a WH generator belt guard, when I bought two of them at the WH show for $20 each.

clueless 2,906 #8 Posted November 22, 2016 1973, I was working at a local convenience store, the Asst. manager was from Reading Pa. says his brother is coming down for the week and bringing some Rolling Rock did I want some. I told him I never heard of it, he said it was in small bottles and packed 42 to a case, 42 to a case,hell ya. That Saturday they had a big cook out at his house, I showed up about 5pm and started on my case. Sometime later that night I ended up in the back seat of my car, woke up sometime the next day sick as a dog. Car smelled like an out house, didn't take long to realize where the smell was coming from, hard to explain to your mom why you missed church, and the whole pants thing. First and last time I ever drank that stuff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,158 #12 Posted November 23, 2016 I found one like this when I tore into a wall. It looks every bit as nice as this one. Looks like wheel horse even trade for the money! https://artsbeercans.com/product/burger-bohemian-155-26/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
