It means, list it on e-Bay and throw your feet up and watch the bids come in. You will be surprised. I'm not an expert on Firestone, but that's a rare can and looks to be in great condition = valuable.

I wish I had a can with a polar bear on it, oh wait, I have a coca cola can. But my coca cola can is probably worth alot less than that polar bear can.

Fantastic old rare can-- Someone should be able to value it for you. Wish I owned it--I've never seen it before and the KOOL factor is WAY up there!

There was one at an auction a few months back went for $175 which was very fair...lost Online due to a storm or I would have went for it.

I hope you don't mind me turning the photo, Dustin?  To me I would expect the can to go for more than $175.... It has excellent graphics and Firestone graphic cans aren't all that common, IMO.

I agree Bob. I would say that can would bring a lot more than $175.00 on e-Bay. I can see a pretty decent bidding war for that can.

https://www.proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.asp?ahid=2541&aid=42506&lid=11122797I believe this is the same can and if I remember correctly the sellers name was Dustin. Before the can went to auction I am pretty sure he offered it to me for $600 or $800 at the time. Said if it didn't sell he was putting it in a local auction with some other signs he acquired from a collection. I believe the seller is well aware of what the can is worth if it's the same person. Still a very nice can.

It's a really cool can but it's not from 1906, It's from the 30's... They also make this can in a vertical half gallon.. I saw a mint half gallon sell for 450 on eBay about a year ago, but it was NOS mint!!

I was gonna say the same thing Keith def a 1930's can with the mark of quality. In 1906 Firestone was just getting into the rim business. I do not think the got into accessories untie the mid to late 20's.
