Traders

You are now on the index page to some of the cans I currently have for trade. Let me know if you see something that interests you. I will consider selling a can, but I much prefer to trade. Take a look at the Excel file listing of traders as it is usually the most current. I am more likely to keep the spreadsheet up to date than the pages with pictures. Please read the text at the top of the file, if a can has a listing with red at the end, it is part of a potential trade. It is never quite complete as boxes arrive and depart weekly from the front steps.

The Coronation Brew I am willing to trade.

Can has original cap,

and a few scratches to atest to its age.

As I understand it, the Coronation Brew was released to honor the crowning of George the VI in May of 1937. As with most of the pre-world war II English cone tops this can is rare. The cap is the original one. Such cans have sold for over $1000 on ebay though, given their historic collectability, I think they are more in the $500 range because folks other than just beer can collectors saved them. I am interested in trading it for an equally rare can from the same period as I do not collect many commemoratives. This can is among the first commemorative cans out there.
