Old Cans Of Paint, Serious Collectors

Be careful with that Evapo-Rust or any other rust removers. If the can is extremely decayed, the rust might be the only thing holding the pressure in the can. The way that type of cleaner works is by converting the oxygen out of the rust. Just a caveat that you might wind up with a leaker after letting it sit overnight.

 

I've used CLR quite a bit in the past, and if you let it soak long enough, it will eat the rust off a 100 year old rail spike. I found a bunch of great ones on a trip to Cape Cod a few years ago. The old spikes there were extremely rusty. My guess is from the close proximity of the ocean and salty, sandy soil. Either way, i pulled the spikes out of a week long CLR bath and they were eroded all the way down to the clean metal. Amazing stuff.

150 something on that farmer. Reserve not met wow! Great can

 

That can is rarer and worth more than any Icy Grape or Jungle. Too bad folks spend drop their loot on scraps and empties. They should save those pennies for cans like the farmer brown. If it ain't FULL, it's BULL!

Curious, how often do you guys come across old American Accents? I've only stumbled on a few here and there, seems like they're a fun bunch to collect. Referring to the cans dated '91 with either Garden or Heritage on the front.

 

Don't forget Tapestry...

P.T. Barnum said it best...

 

BTW the farmer Brown went out on the d/l afterwards to a very happy customer. FEEbay is to used for exposure. Conduct your business outside of it. And all will reap the benefits.
