(June/2010)
---John Paul of Cincinnati, BCCA #42, and his wife found another example in a collection they got in 1971, reportedly in the Youngstown area (brief description in a BCCA News Report article in December, 1971.) John Paul showed it in his winning cone display at Geneva Canvention. Bought by Denny Thayer in the late '70's; to Dick Caughey around 1980 who later sold it to Les Whitman of No. Calif, who then sold it in the early 1990's (?) to a Southern collector.
---Tom Leo example: found in a small Toledo, Ohio collection by Tom Leo in the early 1980's; then to an established Ohio collector; described as around "grade 1-ish."
---Al Kogoy, a well known Penn. breweriana collector, found an c1+ example with the Elmira, New York distributor in a thrift shop and cone was reportedly found in western PA in the '70's; to Dick Anderson, to Dick Caughey, Tom Leo, Hearn, etc. (turns out this can had the cap, but Tom Leo kept the cap in his collection.)
---Jeff Smith is understood to have found one some place as an example was in his collection which was sold to Tony Steffan around 1990; can to Gene DiCicco and then to Tom Waggoner.
---1982 Chicago auction: sold to Dave Starks; then with sale of his collection in 2007, to an established mid-west collector.
---At 2004 BCCA Canvention, a visitor showed up with a Clipper cone and later this example may have gone to a Michigan collector? Rumors of more examples from this source?
other "inside" examples?
---"Outside" and under-the-house examples: several have sold on ebay in past 5 years, including a grade 2 example in 2004 with the Jamestown, NY distributor, and some undetermined number are around, but still scarce.
Clipper cone was a product of Renner Brewing in Youngstown in the late (?) 1930's apparently for a relatively short period of time. Persons following Renner Brewing know more on this brand and circumstances of the label. There are two variations listing a distributor in Jamestown, NY or in Elmira, NY.
---Inside examples: below is some background on six known Clipper cone examples - how many more are around?
---The one pictured in BCU was held by Wally Gilbert who got it from Joe Veselsky. In 2006, the Gilbert Collection was sold to Ted Larsen. Top shape with a price on side: 6@59c and is recalled (?) as having the Jamestown, NY distributor.
