This is the only website dedicated to the quart cone top, a popular beer and ale package used from June 1937 to the late 1950’s.  Many beer can collectors specialize in just the 12 ounce cans, but I was drawn to quarts after digging them in Maine resort dumps on vacations as a kid and during working summers through college.  They were just different.  And big.

I built this site as a forum to buy, sell, and trade quart cones as well as for sharing history of the quart cone top.  I can appraise and either buy your quarts or take them on consignment, and will post them here for sale and take them to shows around the country.  I will also maintain your want list so you can be first in line when your most-wanted cans become available.

I’m not fussy about condition as many rare labels are still quite valuable despite rust or other damage, although the professional dealers won’t touch them.  If you’re looking to sell your collection, those dealers will often offer the same price for just your 12 ounce cans as they would for your entire collection.  Please consider selling or consigning your quarts here instead.  Both buyer and seller will do better and be happier dealing with someone within the close-knit group of quart specialists.

Some words of warning about eBay and the quarts that change hands there.  Please keep in mind that prices fluctuate wildly with the season and who happens to be online that week.  There are both buyer and seller scams ongoing, and advanced collectors often refrain from bidding with typical eBay drop sellers who may photograph poorly, ignore inquiries, ship haphazardly, and refuse to take returns.  I am a well-known collector of 28 years and maintain a sterling feedback rating in person and online.

So, please have a look around my site and check back soon for updates.  Many cans turn up in barns, attics, or walls as left by early plumbers and electricians.  Others had their lids cut off and were used as funnels or hardware or chemical storage.  Tell me how you found your quarts!
