Hi to all,
A few years back a Friend, who is not with us now, asked a few of us to collect
" The Ring Pulls " that opened a can of Fruit, Baked Beans or whatever.
I still collect a few now, as they were supposed to have a whisker of Titanium in them.
The question is, are they still wanted, if so, who takes them & where do they go to.
I thought it was a Charity of some kind & I thought they went to S.A., but I am unsure about this.
Any info would be great.
Regards,
issatree.

Was he a Freemason?

Vic Freemason's Ring-pull Drive (http://www.freemasonsvic.net.au/Community/RingpullCollection/tabid/271/Default.aspx)

Most Ring-pull drives that I've heard of in the past turned out to be urban myths. But that one is dinkum, as far as I can tell.

Hi Skew,
No he wasn't, but I think he had a Friend that was.
Thank you for that. The Penny has dropped, & I will seek out a couple of Chaps I know that are Masons & ask.
Thanks again.
Regards,
issatree.

Check your local primary schools as well, I collect mine for my friend for her 2 kids to take to school. From memory their school has been taking them in for the last 2 years. No idea what happens to them though.
