Re: Example of bottom opening
Bill: It may have been done but those disk are not very big. Hardley enough room to get a decent size spoon through to eat what is in the can. I guess a fork would work for solid food. Here is a dug disk (one of the smaller ones) for size reference but it shows no signs of being pried off. Some of the larger cans had larger disks and perhaps it would work on them. I can't ever remember digging a can that the disk was pried off. The condensed milk cans simply had two bayonet holes punched in the top. As for cutting through the solder, don't forget it is two layers of tin stuck together with solder. They are very hard. I have dug many of these rings and never thought I would ever want one for anything. I was going to provide a picture but I never saved any.
I have never seen any reference to wax for sealing cans as mentioned in another post.
