Product Description
"This book is Thomas Toefper's third book about beer cans. His first book, Obsolete Beer Cans - Volume I, is already recognized as the finest beer can reference book yet published. Tom's second book, Beginner's Guide to Beer Cans, has become a best seller to the beginning beer can collector. Tom is a native of Wisconsin, born and raised in Oshkosh. He now makes his home in Aurora, Illinois. To has been collecting beer cans for over five years, and as part time hobby, deals in antique advertising and brewery items. He works for the United States Government, Federal Aviation Agency, as an Air Route Traffic Controller at the Chicago Air Traffic Control Center in Auroa. All cans in this book are from his collection of over 3700 cans. (from about the author)" "Since Volume I of Obsolete Beer Cans was written in the spring of 1975, several important changes in the beer can collecting hobby have taken place. I stated in Volume I that there were some two hundred and fifty thousand beer can collectors in the United States. 1975 saw a growth in beer can collecting far beyond anyone's expectations - growth to where there are now over a half million people of all ages, economic and ethnic backgrounds collecting beer cans. The hobby has spread out of the middle west like a tidal wave into all parts of America. Many thousands of people along the east coast have now discovered the fun and excitement of beer can collecting, along with thousands more in the mid-south and west coast areas. The fantastic growth of beer can collecting has created a demand for good obsolete beer cans far above the supply. This demand has caused the value of obsolete beer cans to rise rapidly. Can collectors caught up in a frantic desire to obtain good cans are paying higher and higher prices for cans; cans which were common a year ago are now deldom seen for sale or trade. Some collectors, in their desperation to get new cans, are paying prices far above the value of the can." (from forward)
