    Default The Ring Pulls,

    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

    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.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    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.

    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.
