Dave I can't recall another auction that had so many near mint red Indian quarts. Selling at $4-500 each.

The crazy thing is the guy didn't bid it up to $1500 on his own.
I don't understand people some times! Crazy!

The guy that bought it is actually a seasoned collector . Yes there were at least 3 guys on it right till near the end . Even the fella said , I guess I really wanted that one lol.

Not "Super Common". It ain't quaker state. Nice can to have in any collection. Maybe not for that much dough. Anything Red Indian is worth owning

I think they really wanted it because it was full ? Not really a brilliant move ?

I see it a little differently. There are loads of Red Indian tins out there with new lids and bases. They are beautiful, quality relid work, but they are not original. If you are a stickler for originality one way to ensure that is buy a full one!

That is true it was a really good one and the way things are headed with original , it didn't really surprise me too much . There was another site , with points being raised on the full or empty can thing . With several collectors saying they empty full cans for a variety of reasons . I think full is always worth more but that's just my opinion . Someone should poll it on here . Full or empty would be interesting with lots probably on either side of the fence ??????????

Here is a thread, Jim wrote in 2011 on the subject:

One from 2012:

Another from 2014:

I'm sure there are many more discussions about "Full vs Empty"...
