Rolling Rock beer ship
« on: November 18, 2012, 09:38:32 pm »
I'm hoping someone could help put a value on this ship. The sails are pieces of Rolling Rock cans. Its 19" long and 10" high. Thanks!

Looks like a labor of love from the 70s. Sadly I think the value is negligable.

You will see that this is a craft that is making a come back.  Recycling cans and tins into novel pieces!  There are always people to buy these!  $20 - $30

I wear a Rolling Rock 33 hat everyday almost. I would probably fight with my wife to keep that if I found it. I would of course lose the battle and it would be thrift store bound.

Still think it is a homemade craft item.  They make all kinds of items with cans:  ornaments, purses, houses, use like wallpaper, cups, planes, boats, etc....

Here's another boat

Just search beer can crafts!
