Here’s one for the books. An old 12 pound Red Dot keg. I don’t know how old this is, but I’m just getting to the bottom of it, and the powder works fine.
Do these old kegs have any value?

Do these old kegs have any value?
Yes they do, especially if in good condition. I saw one of those sold just before Christmas in excellent condition for $50.00 plus shipping. The collecting market is beginning to stir on those old metal and cardboards can a little. Right now though, the prices are all over the board as the market begins to try and establish a value line. james
Thanks for the info. Is there any way to determine the age of this thing by using the lot number f the powder, that you know of?
I am not knowledgeable enough to answer your question on lot numbers. Maybe someone else can chime in and help. james
I still have that same Red Dot `barrel` and a matching brown Herco `barrel` I had back in the mid `60`s.Robert
I have one, but it's a little bigger, 15 lbs, Bullseye
Thanks, that would be my guess, mid- 60s.Quote:

Bought one just like it in 1964.
I know where a table lamp is that was made out of a Red Dot tin just like the one pictured. Made a cool old timey looking lamp.
Pretty sure a buddy of mine has one in his supply as well & still has powder in it. Might try to get a pic next time I stop by his place. Maybe even see if he wants to part with it...
Why not re-purpose it into something useful?
OS OK, like your lamp, I assume that there is some weight in the bottom. Neat project.
Naw, it was heavy enough as it was. Thanks
Sweet lamp. I like that a smidgeon better than the Red Dot lamp, but together they would make a cool pair.Quote:
