Collecting Clubs LINKS

The Beer Can Collectors of America is, despite its name, an international organization, with members in Canada, Japan, Europe, Australia and Latin America as well as the United States. Founded in St. Louis in 1971, the BCCA has dozens of affiliate chapters. It sponsors numerous shows for beer can collectors throughout the year, and it publishes a very nice magazine, Beer Cans and Breweriana Collectibles, which comes out six times a year. The BCCA has also published the best book listing United States' cone tops and flat tops. Published in 2000, you can buy it directly from the BCCA. It's a good price guide for flat tops and cone tops, although there are some errors in the pricing.

Collecting Clubs:

The Rusty Bunch is a BCCA Chapter founded in 1985 for those members who enjoy hunting for old cans wherever they may have been tossed in the past. Called "dumping", hunting for cans in the woods, in old buildings, tossed under porches, etc., is a lot of fun and it's added a lot to the hobby. Rusty Bunch members in the past 15-plus years, have discovered numerous cans from the 1930s and 1940s which were previously unknown to exist. The Rusty Bunch publishes a monthly newsletter containing stories from members about dumping, tips on finding cans, articles on little-known variations of cans by specialists, etc. It's the best newsletter in the BCCA. They sponsor numerous shows throughout the year. The best is the Blue-Gray show cosponsored every February by the Rusty Bunch, The Richbrau Chapter (Richmond, Virginia) and The Capital City
Chapter (Washington D.C.).


The American Breweriana Association (ABA) is a non-profit, tax exempt historical and educational group, offering a bimonthly magazine covering industry news, brewery history, beer advertising and collectibles, plus free label & coaster offerings with each issue, exchange services to trade your duplicate labels, coasters, openers, sports schedules, crowns & napkins. They also feature a lending library over 250 books on beer & collectibles, plus periodicals and auction catalogues. It also sponsors numerous meetings and trade sessions. The magazine is especially nice, one of the better collector's magazines around.
