Re: 1930s flat guard purchase.
I started collecting the cans when I was 12 years old in the mid-1970s. There was no internet or computer games, me and my friends looked for them. I only have around 800 left and they are in storage in my basement. Back in the 1930s, the cans would have "opening instructions" on the back, LOL. I do not collect any more.That is a cool back drop. Do you collect beer cans?
Notice the large button on the knife! This switchblade really opens fast!

Re: 1930s flat guard purchase.
About 75% are flat or cone tops. The others are pull-tabs. I was a member in the 1970s and early 80s. Most of them are in storage in my basement.Are all your cans Flat Top and Cone Top? Were you a member of the B.C.C.A.?
Re: 1930s flat guard purchase.
I started in 1972. My BCCA number was 4672. I collected everything but my specialty were the US gallon cans. I owned all but 1 or 2 known to exist.

Re: 1930s flat guard purchase.
.
a 1930s knife from a 1940s knife, I would be very grateful....!
Also -- what is the meaning of "I don't collect anymore" in your recent post?
Does this refer to knives, or to the vintage beer cans?
(BTW, back in the 1970s I picked up the full set of 'Katzenjammer Kids' comic-top
"crowns" (bottle caps) from Goldenrod Beer (circa 1935) for $20 at a local flea.
I was informed around 1998 by a crown collector that there were only about a dozen
complete sets known to exist; and that the only more desirable set was a set of
Disney crowns that was made about ten years before my set was made.)

I am also wondering how you can specifically date it to the 1930s, since I am looking for
aspects of knives from this era that can be used to judge the age of my 'Marca Oro'.
