First Cone Top Beers

[metaldetecta]

Found my first cone top beers today. Should I use citric or oxylic acid on them?

Show us your beers! (edit, you just did, thanks)

There is a cleaning and preservation section your post might do better in.

Oxalic. Is usually best. The tall one with screw cap is probably not beer but the other is. I think the flat top at right is a Drewry's with the Mountie on the back maybe.

cone top beer cans sell for some bucks on ebay, even in rusted conditions. I'd like to find some

Awesome! Thanks for the info!

Damn, I had a ton of those when I collected beer cans as a kid, who knew they’d be worth money some day

The Tall One Looks like a Quaker Maid Can.



I found Many Cone Tops in Lake Mud. Beer & Soda.

Got over $70.00 for one like this
Only in worse Shape.
Big Hole in the Back.
rusted cone and bottom.
The Seams Rot out First



I never used anything other then WD-40 type Lubed after they Fully Dried.

congrats on your first

My favorites, I couldn't talk myself into selling

Just FYI. back when I as finding them, I was told the lower the Cone the older the can.
Though no idea if that was true

Wow never knew they existed

Very nice. I remember having a few cone top beer cans back in the 70's when I collected them.
