Hey Scott, I know you're the quart can expert, what is an approx. value of an Old Dutch Ft. Worth can? It's full. I don't know the condition. A lady I buy stuff from called and said she is cleaning out a barn and found some cans. I assume it's Old Dutch Ft Worth since it's close. She also found a full case of unopened Satin oil cans, I guess from Oklahoma. I have not seen the stuff yet, she is calling me back when she is ready for me to come over.

Brent, let me preface this by saying I am not an expert, just a passionate collector. The condition of the can is going to greatly determine the value of this can. If the can is a 9+ I am going to go low and say $750 but could easily reach $1000. If the condition is worse it will cut the value dramatically in my opinion. Some input from some other can collectors on this site should also be able to help you make a determination. Here is a picture of the one I have and keep us posted.

You're kiddin...I think I will call her back Saturday and see if I can get over there. What about the Satin?

Only Satin cans that come to mind are cardboard. Would have to see a picture of one to make any kind of comments. Picture cans always bring top money and condition and rarity play a key role in getting the top dollar. Good luck.
