I have seen examples of cans at the gas bashes with new tops and/or bottoms and I own some. Some folks even have new tops with the embossed oil weight. To my eye, the new tops or bottoms certainly don't devalue a can and for my money, if I saw two cans side by side both in equal condition, I'd choose a can with replacement tops and bottoms over a can missing the top and bottom and I would pay a little extra for a rebuilt can. Remember when the Falcon cans first turned up with no lids? Don't they display better with a new crimped on lid?
