You did good, the can is fine. It has been probably 20 years ago that many 100s of these cans turned up. Most had never had lids put on them. A common can but it has neat graphics. With the lid on it is worth $15-20.

It's Good. As said 100s if not 1000s of NOS unfilled & un-lidded cans were found.

Good buy there Allen . I bought one about 2 or 3 years ago for $10.00 at a swap meet. But mine did not have the lid.

I have saw several sell in 20 to 30 dollar price range in last couple of years, so you did very well. I too have always thought this a beaut. of a can. I believe if they were scarace they would be selling in $500 price range.

Ditto what everyone else said about the can. I like the logo so much that I had one done on a rocker can all by HAND. One of a kind!
