Save those pop & beer cans!

[Kazzer]

He used to go to all the public functions...especially the picture
theaters. And always carried a Sugar Bag to collect empty bottles and cans.

His name was... Albert (Tapper) Torney Everyone thought he was a bit
eccentric and kids would tease and hassle him. But it was discovered he
was very talented and only sold the empty bottles and some of the cans.

After he died in 1998 (aged 86) His large collection of Model Cars he
made from the Aluminum Cans was discovered.
This goes to prove..."You Shouldn't Judge A Book by its Cover", or a
Sculptor by his sugar bag.

Some of his collection ----

They are fantastic... So you can be old, ecsentric & talented... Mmm there is hope for me yet :biggrin: I remember that there was a bloke year down here in Queensland that made a house out of beer bottles back in the sixties which became a tourist attraction for a couple of decades till he passed away and the local shire councle ordered the estate to pull it down. It was an amazing thing to see.
