These cans are for sale or trade.  I buy cans that I need for my collection and sell cans that I have upgraded with ones in better condition.  I have collected crowntainers since 1997 and most of my cans in very clean condition so I don't need to upgrade often.  When I do upgrade, it is for tough cans like those shown here, not the easy entry level cans. 

Click on a photograph to see up-close pictures of all sides of the can.  Please note that these photos were taken with a 2x zoom from a couple feet away that exaggerates any flaws.  So, if it looks good in the pictures,  it will look even better on your shelf!  Please e-mail me if you would like to purchase one or would like more information.

192-11L

Beverwyck Famous Beer

This is a very tough can that is not listed in the book.  It is like 192-11 but with a silver body.  All Beverwyck crowntainers are extremely difficult to find as they were produced only for a couple of years.

192-18

Bruck's Jubilee Ale

This is a real sleeper can that is much tougher than people think. My upgrade is only slightly better than this. In my 11 years of specializing in crowntainers, I have never seen an on-grade version of this for sale.

Bruckmann

193-08 Ebling White Head Ale

This is a very clean version of this hard-to-find can.  Once in a while, you might see a nice ones of these, but I hadn't seen a better one until just recently, and it was just slightly better.

Ebling Yes 1/1+

Sold

 

193-09 Ebling Extra Special (Withdrawn)

This is a very clean version of this hard-to-find can.   Nice ones of these come along every once in a while, but I hadn't seen a better one until just recently, and it was just slightly better.

Ebling WF 1-

$175

194-08 Fort Pitt Beer (Olive Drab)

This is withdrawn free from taxation can from WWII.  The front of this  can is in excellent condition. The back side is pitted.  It is extremely difficult to find one better than this.

Fort Pitt WF 1-

$250

194-33 Gretz Beer

This is a very tough can that you rarely see in on-grade condition, but if you did it would cost you a couple grand. The colors on this can are very crisp.  It has surface scratches and tarnish.

Gretz Yes 2+

Sold

195-15 Hanley's Extra Pale Lager Beer

This is a super tough can.  There are only a handful of good ones known.  This can is spotless.  The only distraction is red color is a little light.

Hanley Yes 1/1+

$850

196-24 Kuebler Pilsener Beer

This is a nice condition can that typically shows up in off-grade condition.  This can has a couple of minor dents, but the color are very vibrant.

Kuebler Yes 1

Sold

197-03 National Bohemian (Gray)

This is the battleship gray version from WWII.  This can is hard to find in any condition.  A nice one would cost about $2000.  This has a nice front side, but the back is totally unreadable.  Great display can.

National Yes 3

Sold

198-21

Royal Amber Beer

This is a very tough can to find in pristine condition.  I debated a long time whether to keep this one or the new one I bought.  Crown Cork didn't have their painting process perfected when they made this can.

Wiedemann

Yes

1/1+

Sold

 

199-17

 

Tru Blu White Seal Beer

This is the version with the blue seal and blue eagle.  It is much tougher to find than the version with the silver seal and eagle. This can is a little off-grade but will look great on your shelf.

Northhampton Yes 2+

$275
