Here are some items that I like in my collection. Since I only collect items that I really like, I could have a new list every week for ever, but think this may do for now. Hope you like them too.
I mainly collect cans and bottles, but now have a great collection of one offs and very rare items.
Diet Coke Can in Lucite
Can encased totally in a block of Lucite. From Milwaukie 1983.
A. Hi Julie, Unfortunately those cans were made in their millions, plus they are not old enough to really be of any great value. You may get $15 - $30 on eBay for them. I have around 40 sets of them, and will keep them for another 10-15 years and use them as traders then. Hope that helps. regards, Mike
A. Hi Muckeye, do you still have the tobacco tins for sale? Are you able to email me with either a list of the tins and/or photos? I also have a large collection, mainly looking for ones I don't have but may be interested in getting the lot from you. Thanks, Jo
A. I've been collecting tins for quite a while now, but haven't heard of a club just for tinnies. Why don't you start one up using this venue. I'd be happy to join. Carolyn
A. Hi Pete (and other fellow collectors), try this website www.antiquebottles.com.au - it has a list of clubs and a calendar of events Australia wide for all sorts of collectables. Cooka
