Junk you've found on a job....

[oldbeer]

Hey guys-

Figured it was time for my quarterly "chime in" to see if any of you have come across ancient soda/beer cans or bottles.Since the old work crews had a habit of dropping them where the boss wouldn't find them,I've put some nice ones on my shelves because of you.

Anyhow-have you ever stumbled across a pile of old tin or bottles?

If so..."I'm your huckleberry"

[acmanko]

I've got some old Kroger Coffe cans

[spotts]

My best find was a 1/2 dozen old Budweisers. Still in great shape. Heres a picture.

[oldbeer]

Spotts-I'm assuming you sold them then? Thats a cool thing to find

[oldbeer]

Those were made during prohibition,when they couldn't have alcohol.Too cool!

i have a glass pepsi bottle form a little while ago and found a 6 pack of bud bottles empty but left them there like an idiot

[spotts]

Those were made during prohibition,when they couldn't have alcohol.Too cool!

The lable is funny, lemme see if I can find one here at work. Naw, but from memory it says stuff like "Unsurps the convalescent" "Great for nursing mothers!"
"Aids Digestion" Pretty cool thing. When I was looking here at the shop I found a deviled ham can with a soldered on lid, and a scary assed devil on it. Also a pork and beans can from like the 1920's.

Well never go to a professional sporting event because you would die of thirst.

During a preventive maintenance visit, I found an old rubber enema bag next to an RTU. What the heck? Don't know why it was there, how it got there. But I stayed away from the nasty thing. Gross and very weird.

[oldbeer]

Any recent finds,guys? Anyone want to part with those old soda/beer cans?

[hvac248]

A barrel of Rum found in a hidden sub-basement I discovered during a renovation in an old house in Detroits Indian Village. Homeowner thru a Proabition rum runners theme completion party and tapped it.

Joist liner that was ment to be Stroh's bottol cap blanks.

[cehs]

I have an old 6oz Coke-a-cola bottle that has "Des Moines, IA" molded in the glass on the bottom.

[ar_hvac_man]

I got a 1964 Shlitz can i found in pretty good condition.

Found Ladies panties and on a roof when working on a RTU.
Also lost her name tag.

[drewsk404]

I found a miller high life can from probably the 60's in the wall of my family's house when we were replacing a tub/shower. i assume it's from then b/c that's when the house was built, and the tub was original.
