——–—–-——–Member’s Update—————–-—
On May 15, 2010 Keith Cannon of Salisbury, N. 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.

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

Spouse’s Corner
By Pat Stanley, the Editor’s Spouse
San Antonio seems like the distant past now, but the friendship of those who attended feels very close as John and I
mourn the sudden loss of his father, the man who was so instrumental in his love of collecting.
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.
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.

32nd JFO Convention San Antonio, Texas April 14-18
As always a little panic sets in every year before we depart for JFO. 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.

32nd JFO Convention San Antonio, Texas April 14-18 by Mike Krejci
Another JFO convention has come and gone. 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. Looking forThank you to everyone who voted to place my Get in

in first place. 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.

―Opener and eBay Trivia‖
Still looking for back ground on the “King of Clubs”
brand asked about by Keith Brown in the April issue. I
was thinking it was from G. Heileman Brewing of La
Crosse, Wis. but I am not sure.
Kenny Hoesch got a very unusual New Discovery CBO.
It was in the hatchet style, similar to a HT-8, but with no
opener (just a round finger hole style end) and the hammer
part of the hatchet was flush with the body. (See pictures)
Do They Exist (Comments of No They Do Not!)
Listed in the last issue but I will leave in the handbook for
now, it keeps members looking!
A-14-2 Jacob Schmidt Brewing Co. St. Paul, Minn.
A-22-2 Crescent Brewing Co. Nampa, Ida.
A-24-1 Independent Brewing Duquesne Silver Top
A-27-2 Pabst Blue Ribbon Brew (Most Likely A-29-5)
B-2-22 Haenle Beer (Most Likely B-22-94)
D-001-028, San Diego, $171.59
Let’s just say I am speechless. 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.
CBO-SHM-ND, A J Sherret Cigars, $84.00
K-002-UL, Falstaff (Shield & No Stars) (Good),
$165.00
PAGE 27
This previously unknown K-2 had been in Art Johnson’s
collection for some time. I had seen before and in the auction preview but never picked up it was a UL until the
auction buyer (from Art Johnson’s Estate) put it on eBay
and the price took off. 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. It will be shown in the October JFO issue for
New Discoveries.
M-001-026, Voigt (Poor), $15.50
M-001-026, Voigts, $306.78
Both ends of the condition spectrum on this opener. A
barely legible M-1-26 Voigt brings $15.50 and a nice con- Z-Corkscrew, English 19thC Lunds 2-Pillar

Some of the “plate” Coca-Cola wall mount openers have

prayed. My prayers were answered as the seller had two
nice condition openers and I was very happy to only pay

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.

ABA Convention June 8-12 Bloomington, Minnesota by Pat Stambaugh
JFO members at ABA included Bob Post, Don Williams, Art Santen, and Herb and Helen Haydock were there early
in the week, and myself. 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?)
