The Breweriana Resource and Purchaser for Beer Can Collections Nationwide

MASSILLON, Ohio - March 13, 2014 - PRLog -- In today’s digital age of disposable products, the beer can collector preserves what many people have thrown away. While some might say these cans have little value, the growing popularity of Beercantiques.com seems to tell a different story. According to the breweriana experts behind the website, their inventory of antique beer cans and beer advertising has not only found a wide following, but the cans themselves command high prices among collectors.

As creators of the website, Jeff Musser and Todd Sandomierski, explain, the antique beer cans they carry come to them in many ways. Some were carefully accrued from collections. These collectors have either decided to downsize and/or disperse their collection. Alternately, a savvy family heir may discover the collection, realize their apparent value, and approach Beercantinques.com looking to sell.

In other situations, cans are found in attics, under floorboards or in the walls of older homes or buildings where many are uncovered during a home’s renovation process. Many times these cans are left behind by construction workers or visitors to homes built after 1935. These cans can be extremely rare and often garner very high prices.

Musser and Sandomierski say they are always on the lookout for these kinds of cans, and are willing to purchase these as well as unwanted collections. If the seller chooses to sell their cans or breweriana, a mutual sell price is usually agreed upon.

Their website features a veritable history lesson of the brewing industry’s past century, with cans and advertisements from a hundred years ago through the late sixties. Divided into cans with cone tops, flat tops, and pull tabs, many visitors describe it as a fascinating look at a world gone by, as well as an important resource for those who collect breweriana. Passionate about the hobby and knowledgeable about packaging history, the owners report that Beercantiques.com is growing as new collectors visit daily to order cans, sell off new finds or just to discuss past history of beer cans and brewery advertising with the experts.
