Any thoughts on the value of this EN-AR-CO rocker can? Overall, the can is solid - no major dents or rust through. Both sides of the can are shown below.

Thanks.

$100?

Has anyone ever had success doing a dip on a rocker can and having luck with the graphics coming back?

That was going to be my next question....is there a way to recover at least some of the original graphics on the sides of the can?

Jim's thought on value of the can in question seems in the ballpark, given the condition. This rocker can appears quite regularly on eBay. The recent "sold" prices for pretty decent up to very good condition examples range from around $200, up to about $400. It's possible the market for this particular can has softened some. I remember real nice ones selling for quite a bit more money on eBay and at the larger gas/oil swap meets a couple of years ago. John
