C. passed away unexpectedly from heart failure. Keith was 62. Keith was riding with his friend, Sue, when he told her I am going to pass out. Before she got back to his house he was in a coma. He made it to the hospital but passed away shortly after arriving. Keith was an avid collector of soda advertising items including caps, clocks, bottles and openers especially Pepsi=Cola openers. Keith and I did a lot of trading since we met in 2002 (through eBay of course). Our condolences go out to the Cannon family. My apologies to all members for this issue being so late. With the death of my father unexpectedly on June 7th and being the Executor of his estate has taken most of my time for two months. The many kind cards and emails have been very helpful in dealing with this loss. Thank you to everyone for being patient while I finished this issue. Hopefully I can get back on schedule with the September newsletter. —–——--———-–2010 JFO Convention #32 April 14-18 San Antonio TX—–—————–—-— A big Texas thank you to Jeb Burruss for running a great 32nd JFO Convention. His planning and the convention itself went off with very few issues. Probably the only one was the almost daily rain we had. The hotel, the hospitality room, the local collectors and everyone attending made this a super convention. Jeb’s main helper, Jaime Pina was a huge presence in the hospitality room. They do not come any friendlier than Jaime. John Cartwright was always running around helping with anything and everything that he could. Jeb held everything together and kept the hotel people happy despite some effort by the Stanleys to get the hotel folks upset. Being right downtown in San Antonio was a great bonus and the spouses could just walk across the street from the hotel to start their shopping trips. The local collectors were very hospitable at their local show in Shiner, Texas. The shuttle van worked out very well for going to the show and dropping people off at the airport on Sunday morning. Another special thanks to the photographers who helped out including Alex Redl, Jaime Pina, Darlene Atwood, Herb Danziger, Bob Stahly and Sandra Emme. Also I need to thank Mike Krejci for his convention write-up. It was a great time in San Antonio and you need to start thinking about next year’s convention in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Scott Williams will be a great host. ————————2011 JFO Convention #33 April 27-May 1 Cedar Rapids Iowa——–-———— Scott Williams came up with a great location for next year’s JFO convention at the Marriott Hotel in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We encountered some initial difficulty as hotels in Iowa like to charge “big table fees” to rent tables for the Saturday show. The Marriott in Cedar Rapids is 15 minutes from the airport and they have a “free shuttle service”. The room rate is $94.00 for up to four people in a room. With Easter being later next year, Scott wanted a late April or first of May date just in case the weather was still in winter mode. Cedar Rapids is in east central Iowa just north of Iowa City. The hotel is located on Collins Rd which is just off of I-380. The hotel phone number is 319-393-6600. One note of special interest to members is Scott’s son, Morgan, had a relapse of leukemia (no cells but infection). Please keep Morgan and Scott’s family in your thoughts and prayers. It has been a tough past year for the Williams. PAGE 2 JUST FOR OPENERS JUL 2010 ISSUE #127 In Memory of John Ray Stanley Sr (1925-1910) It certainly hit me like a ton of bricks. I knew my dad had not been feeling well but we talked every night usually to see how his day had been. We talked at 6PM on June 6th and later that night after having side pains, he called 911. At 2AM he walked out to the ambulance and arrived at the hospital a few miles away where they had to sedate him to perform a procedure. He went into a coma and passed that night at 9PM. The main cause was sepsis (a blood infection). If JFO members want to know why I have the “trade bug”, it came honestly from my father. The exception being I have retained a lot of favorite openers and corkscrews. My dad would always ask me, “just how many openers can you keep?” I would tell him Art Santen had 30,000 and then 40,000 and my 3,000+ was really not that many. I am the Executor of his estate and in the end he did have a few guns, watches and knives and also five banjos. Just about everything had been traded for in his last year. The one thing I have is a Seth Thomas wall clock that he gave Pat and me about 15 years ago. He had bought it in 1960 from the Bank of Marion (NC) which is a three hour drive from his home in Winston-Salem. But only after he passed on it on a Friday and then rose up My mom started me collecting openers in 1977 but it was early and drove back on a Saturday morning to buy it. my dad who taught me the “art of trading”. I wish I was half as good as he was. Pops was an old “horse trader” One of first lessons to me was keeping the person you including cars, guns, watches, knives and banjos. He was traded with happy. If they were unhappy with a deal, you a trader all of my life (56 years) and was a very good tried to make it up to them on the next trade (don’t you banjo “picker” (unfortunately he tried several times to guys line up for any refunds). That was followed by the teach me but I am just tone deaf). Through all of his years “baby trader” lesson. When I was young he would usuof trading, he never kept a favorite piece. Anything he ally come out on top when we traded. I would want to bought or traded for was always “a keeper”, but within a trade back and he called me a “baby trader” (early on he short time it would go out the door for something else. He would trade back and as for “making it up on the next greatly enjoyed the camaraderie of his trading friends trade”, I usually got further in the hole). He was trader up which included his two brothers, a brother-in-law and until the day before he died and after mom’s passing in many “traders” in the Winston-Salem, N. C. area. 2003, it was his passion. Thank you “Pops” for showing me a lot of life’s lessons from a “trader’s viewpoint”. Some of the Openers & Corkscrews Dealt at San Antonio JFO A-001-017, Mt.

As you know John is very focused when he has a challenge, so dealing with the estate has been his priority, delaying the newsletter this quarter. We know you understand for he has proven to be so dedicated to JFO for all these years. The good thing about the delay is that the question of where JFO 2011 will be was resolved today, July 16th. Scott and Ursula Williams arranged that even though their son Morgan is undergoing more treatments. One of Gary Deachman’s favorite descriptions of auction pieces is “dynamite”. Well, I must steal it to describe the host of JFO 2010, John Burruss, known to all as JEB. He thought of everything, did a “bang” up job of making everyone welcome and well cared for. He made the state of Texas Proud. Of course he did have the help of a very enthusiastic, energetic man named Jaime Pina, someone you just like instantly. So glad to have him be a part of JFO. John Ross added a very special touch, bringing not only yellow roses for all the women, but even bringing the little water vials to keep them fresh. I was on airport duty when he arrived, so John Stanley had to cut down the stems and secure each beautiful rose in the containers after adding water of course. What I would have given to watch that! But as you know, I was having so much fun on airport duty. I don’t ask much, just that the guests arriving have our cell phone #s and we have theirs. The first few runs went pretty well, making three one after the other. Just dropped people off and kept on going. Never did find the 4th couple to arrive. No way to get in touch with them. Being the great people they are, they just got a shuttle and came on into town. After that I was nervous and the scenario was repeating itself when I was to chauffeur the Canadians (Theresa and Mike St. Amand and Mary and John Lynn). After two rounds and time in the cell phone lot, had a little talk with Mr. Stanley about those phone #s I asked for. He was very helpful, couldn’t understand why I couldn’t find them because I know what they look like. Yes, but with an ambulance in the middle of the baggage claim area and a million cars and people, it was not like picking them up at a private airstrip. I had already run over some of those posts that thankfully bend as cars merged when they could not merge to get around the EMS commotion. But I just could not leave the Canadians, friends from my native country. Not to mention that they bring me pina colada!! And so, I decided to go around the race track one more time. What joy when I saw the foursome waving their arms and as usual laughing, having a great time! And as always, they came back from their adventures one day with my pina colada. And that was not all. While we waited for our table when the group went out Saturday night, I turned around and Theresa handed me a Texas size Pina Colada!! It was perfect!! By the way, next year the hotel has a shuttle!! I was really surprised when Tommy Campnell commented on my weight loss, After all, I didn’t think these collectors noticed anything but openers and corkscrews at JFO. I was even more surprised to learn that my husband put him up to it, tipped him off. It was great to see Karen Hanold doing much better this year. I guess you recover faster when you live in Normal, Illinois. She keeps me laughing all year with jokes she emails. I laughed out loud at the one about walking that came today. Going through these names is like the end of a Survivor series, where you remember something about all the players. If you are ever feeling down, look at the attendee list of the last JFO and the memories will make you feel happy instantly. JUST FOR OPENERS JUL 2010 ISSUE #127 PAGE 4 Spouse’s Corner (continued) It was touching that Marge Stahly and Louy Stambaugh both checked to see if I wanted to go off for awhile shopping or just out and about. I didn’t go as the JFO trip also was memorable as my niece lives in the San Antonio area and I was able to spend lots of time with her, her husband and two wonderful boys. I do remember that it rained a lot, but I was surrounded by so many sunny times with family and friends. And then there are always Harriet’s Smiley Faces to cheer up any day. Saturday night at dinner, the waitress took back our check to fix something and never returned. We eventually found out that another couple had asked for it. It still reminds me of how touched we were. John unselfishly gives so much to JFO without asking anything in return. But it’s nice to be shown appreciation in any way, a note, a thank you… some pina colada!! Jazzy and Snazzy enjoy their gifts too as they do have to put up with that Editor. John would add that some rare openers would work great too. John is sleeping, imagine that, so I don’t know how much space I can take when this is the issue with lots of pictures, so I better not mention everyone on that attendee list. Though you can bet that I’m reading the names again and thinking of each and everyone of you…….all good thoughts. But, I must close with the one memory that we all will cherish…and that is of Gary Deachman dancing with one of his beautiful daughters. If he hadn’t started taking care of himself, he might have missed so much.

This year was even worse since we would be on the road two days going out and two days coming back. We left somewhat late at 10AM and made Winston -Salem in time to have lunch with my Dad and his girlfriend. We then headed to Knoxville and got there in time to have supper with Pat’s sister and her family. Even with Jazzy and Snazzy we were making good time and got to the other side of Nashville to spend the night. Pat’s sister’s husband had convinced me it was better driving across Tennessee and Arkansas and down to Texas from there instead of going down through Alabama and across the gulf coast to get to Texas. We went out the northern route and came back the southern route and he was correct. Except for Dallas the northern route is the better way to go. in the afternoon with food and drinks and claims he had to be a referee with the Sales Manager (which was true). The six of us eat at Pesado’s on the Riverwalk that evening which was the first of several great meals in San Antonio. Cartwright brought the Harry Horn collection to sell with lots of good openers. It was another midnight evening for the Stanleys. The dogs are doing well but do not like the elevator. Josef L’Africain arrives late with a rental car for Tommy and him to hit every antique shop/ mall within a hundred miles. First thing Wednesday morning Josef wants to see and then trades me out of a super nice Williamson “Power Cone”. I get a little cash, a M-3 Senate (that he stole from me on eBay), and a few other “miscellaneous” openers. I then spend $500 with John Cartwright with most being for some of Horn’s openers. Needing to raise cash I give Monday morning we were on the road by 8AM. The girls away three corkscrew sliders (M-73s) to Tommy for usually get adjusted to a trip by the second day and with $250.00.

Gary and I do our only trade of we could be in San Antonio by 11PM. We decided to the convention as he gets some muddlers and I get my push and try and make it all the way.

Thank you Jeb for putting together such a fine event. San Antonio is one of my favorite cities to visit. I always enjoy spending time with JFO friends. This year I was able to spend some time with Harriet Waldo and the Arbers visiting the Alamo. One afternoon Art Santen, John Cartwright and I visited some micros and then on Friday afternoon Scott Williams and I went to River Walk. We stopped at a place called The Republic of Texas where we enjoyed a margarita and a very good burger. Sunday I was able to revisit the place and enjoy the same fare. Oh yes, I was seated at the same table and had the same fine waitress (see pictures)! What a day. And of course there were the other gastronomical events, It would be hard to forget the evening at County Line BBQ where I along with some of the rest in our group had the five meat sampler. Very fillingmaybe overfilling-no stuffed is how I felt. Jeb said it best, it would have been OK without the dinosaur bone (big beef rib)! It was great seeing everybody in San Antonio. The hospitality room is always fun, although this year I was hurting bad at times and needed to spend quiet time in my room. I think I have it figured out now. I was having a lot of muscle pain. About two months back I started taking vitamin D and that has seemed to help relieve most of the pain. About a week before the convention I abandoned my first choice because I wasn't able to find all of the openers I needed. At the convention I had Pat Stanley print up a little sign for the display and she claimed it was the sign that vaulted me into first place. Thank you Pat! I didn't make any earth shaking buys on openers, but did pick up a few good ones. Mostly it was about the food and friends. And then there was the very nice trip to Shiner on Saturday. What more could a person ask for! There's the story a Texan and Alaskan talking about the merits of the respective states. After awhile the Texan was tired of hearing the Alaskan claiming everything was bigger in his state. So wanting to impress the fellow from Alaska, the Texan said, I can get in my truck in the morning, drive all day and still not be off my ranch. To which the Alaskan said, I once had a car like that! Well I had a truck like that. Monday the thing was giving me trouble and so to the shop I went, Tuesday more of the same and Wednesday once again in the shop. By Wednesday evening I finally made it out of the state. Most of the shop time was spent finding a 28$ part that was going bad. Since then I've been fairly busy work wise and have picked up one or two nice openers on EBay.

This was my second choice for a display. eBay Seller LUDWIGH From what this seller told me he walked right into a dream situation for an opener collector. Terence Hammer of Grand Junction, Co. attended a local estate sale and lucked upon the former collection of George Lohmiller an original JFO member. He did not pass along what he paid for the collection but judging from his starting prices on eBay it must not have been much. You never know the circumstances behind settling an estate but dumping an opener collection at one is not a good idea. The family probably just wanted to get rid of the openers but a little time checking around would have been much better financially for them. It was Terence’s good fortune when he happened on the collection. Even in these unfortunate situations someone comes out a winner.

An opener I might figure would bring $40-50 and it sells for $171.59. Cast iron is always hard to figure out as prices are all over the map. Thankfully I got mine much cheaper. Below are the eBay quarter highlights and comments. A-020-999, Coca-Cola In Sterilized Bottles (EX), $150.00 A-043-999, Coca-Cola Waterloo IA (EX), $308.99 Good Coca-Cola openers continue doing well. The A-20 is fairly common but has that “figural fish” appeal and plus it is a spinner. The A-43 Horse Head was sold by JFO member, Tom Atkinson, and it was in great condition. A very tough Coca-Cola style to find and being in this condition $308.99 is a fair price. B-007-010, Cambria (EX), $116.49 B-011-001, Seattle Var A, $136.49 B-011-001, Seattle Var B (EX), $134.10 B-043-002, Kalispell, $260.00 Highlights for “B”s were the B-7-10 Cambria in great condition. A hard to find Western PA opener and I am thinking it went to a collector from that area. Two different sellers had the B-11s and both were bought at a fair price as each one has sold for over $200.00 before. I have owned two B-43-2 Kalispell openers and sold or traded both in the $150.00 range. I guess I was a little cheap (Deachman you got one of them so be happy for a change with “my pricing”). E-004-345, Koch (w/ H-8-8 Iroquois and 18 Misc Matchbooks), $69.99 Larry Moter and I both missed this hard to find E-4 in a lot of New York beer collectibles. A local collector was the happy buyer and once you see one turn up, hopefully another one will be right around the corner. F-006-999, Coca-Cola / Beckley WV Ice & Feed, $130.49 F-039-999, Coca-Cola Gardner Bros Greencastle IN (BIN), $75.00 Coca-Cola openers dominate the kitchen results this past quarter. An unknown before now Coca-Cola F-6 from West Virginia went to JFO member, Dick Friedman. The F-30 went to a couple of serious Coca-Cola collectors from Reading, Pa. They convinced the seller to do a BuyIt-Now for $75.00. She told me since she only had $5.00 in it, she took the offer. The kitchen scoop is worth at least $200.00 in today’s market. FBOC-418, Winking Boy (Good), $182.25 A one-time $1,000 opener in great shape only brought $182.25. It was in rough shape by Cast Iron standards but the FBOC market continues to slide slowly downward. Just too many reproductions in the market place. At this point the skull is the only somewhat rare figural that has been reproduced but with so many scam artists around it is probably a matter of time before they start remaking some of the other rare ones. C-008-003, Hamms, $61.01 C-008-003, Hamms, $81.01 Both C-8s sold within a couple of weeks of each other. The prices realized are a probably a little high as a few examples of the C-8 Hamms openers have now sold. The C-8 is certainly an unusual style opener. G-010-999, Ideal Corkscrew, $136.49 The second Ideal G-10 on eBay the past year and I thought maybe I would get this one. Unlucky for me “Johnny Bridesmaid” struck again. The G-10 is a tough style to find and the Ideal ad is just real neat. If anyone has one available please contact me.

Darn it did not have the “stars logo” like the K-2-2. A collector on eBay was astute enough to realize it was different and paid $165.00. I was sleeping on this one. The Johnson auction buyer paid $50.00 for it and a K-2-4 Blatz with a replaced handle screw. The K-2-4 Blatz sold for $73.50. Not bad for a $50.00 investment. (See pictures) addition to my collection. The final price was within $10.00 of my top bid. P-UL-UL, Bartholomae & Roesing 1888 (Chicago), $99.00 This new discovery knife was listed in a Pre-1970s knife category. I was checking advertising knives and stumbled on this one. Being the only bidder at $99.00 was a big surprise for this dated 1888 knife from a little Chicago Brewery. It was also unusual in it will be the first advertising beer ad knife with a match striker plate. The knife now resides in the Norm Jay collection after a trade at NABA.

My prayers were answered as the seller had two nice condition openers and I was very happy to only pay $77.00. Attica was most likely a bottling company from Kansas (someone may know otherwise?).

Art Johnson (Mass) Collections For members who did not hear, most of former JFO member’s Art Johnson’s many collections were sold at auction in March at the Central Mass Auction house in Cherry Valley, Ma. Lots of breweriana, openers and dairy creamers. Many local collectors and dealers were in attendance and most of the opener lots were very reasonable. I did buy most of the beer belt buckles with openers. One amazing thing was how many dealers bought items on a Thursday night and were listing and selling them on eBay the next day. Art’s former house was full of items that were considered not valuable enough for the auction. The contents were divided into different areas of collectibles and potential buyers could come in by appointment and make offers on the different piles. Included was an eight foot table of openers plus some beer cans, pictures, trays and other breweriana which sold for $4,100.00. A different way to sell things but the house was cleaned out.

Mike Krejci and Darvin Stilwell came to the show Sat. About 200 registered, most stayed in Hospitality room. I went Thurs. The Tues open houses, and Wed/Thurs tour were well received. They had lunch at the Gluek restaurant, toured Summitt and Flat Earth Breweries. Wed night they had a band in the Hospitality Room from 7-10:30. Many people never went room to room. The show was well advertised, Beatons had a great page plus article in the Star Tribune the week before, and many people called Jim afterwards, with things for sale. He told them to bring the items to the show, and there would be a buyer there. Jammed crowd from 8:30-12:30, and people still coming in after that. So everyone sold well at the show. A local collector brought some openers and knife, we made a trade, in the works since Feb., for a sign I have. The N105-UL Bubs is probably the only type, where there is more than one opener, that I have the complete type. I wonder why only Minnesota beers? (Do any members know why this type is this way?)
