about 6 months ago vpugly on eBay had a rocker americo can.try him. i bought a couple sets 2 years ago off a guy who had about 100 pairs of the cans. this guys father who is still alive and in his 90's got the 100 sets off of stropes family back in the late 50's. his father was the postmaster in wynantskill,ny. elmer strope lived at 1 wynantskill road and there was a carriage house behind stropes house and that was where all the stock went from americo after elmer strope died unexpectedly. the guy i got mine froms father had sold a set at meissners auction every year for like last 20 years. a set usually pops up at one of meissners auction still every year. below is my set, gave my dad the other. when I bought mine the guy said i missed the original wood sign that hung on the building by a few weeks, that was found in the carriage house too. scott
