Can Collectors World Wide

Welcome to Can Collectors World Wide.
This blog is to bring can lovers from all over the world to discuss their can collections.

I'm David Ahrens son of John Ahrens who is BCCA member #9. I'm creating this blog to get a location where collectors can contact one another all over the world.

Beer memorabilia collectors trade wares - Business - International Herald Tribune:

John Ahrens recalls when he was sucked into beer-can collecting. The 63-year-old suburban Philadelphia man, who was among the more than 800 people attending the 36th annual convention of the Brewery Collectibles Club of America, was a student at Yale University when his classmates began lining a ledge with cans. The CANvention started Wednesday and goes through Saturday. By graduation, Ahrens had 250 cans, and he kept adding to them. The collection eventually grew to include about 30,000 cans — winning him a spot for about 15 years in 'The Guinness Book of World Records.'

John Ahrens is associated with Larwood Limited with evaluating can collections.
