Anyone have any idea of what this can might be worth? Have not seen another one out there and about every collector I have talked to have not seen one either.


Thanks

That is a Killer Quart. I would say around $1000 in that condition.

Jerry, if you did get the can good going. It is a cool can. I could see paying $800-$1000 for the can.It would fit in any collection and be an asset.
I have seen cans go around $3000 as many of us have.
If that was an Oklahoma can I would probably go crazy trying to get it.
