Found Can Story: NATIONAL ALE L174-22

I received a call from a fireman who said he saw one of my ads on the web. He said they were putting a fire out in a really old house with bad wiring. After the fire was out, they removed some lathe and plaster walls to verify the fire was out and out popped two of these cans both in A1+ condition. I made an offer that left him momentarily speechless. He thought he might get around $50.00 for them, I really surprised him! I told him there is most likely at least four more in those walls and I’ll bet he was thinking of starting the house on fire again. The National Ale conetops were similar to 174-22 except the side panels and the patent pending statement.
