    This 6 pack of Primo beer circa 1969, was found inside the wall of a remodeled home here in Hawaii from when Primo was actually brewed here. Would like to know if I should keep the beer intact, or pop the rusted (but solid) caps and empty the bottles for preservation?

      You'd find it difficult to pop the caps off without damaging the caps. Unless, of course, you did not want to keep the caps.

      Thank you Spirit for the quick reply! Caps are totally rusted, no value in them that I can see. I was curious if leaving the bottles sealed is risky in as far as the caps eventually rusting through and the liquid ruining the labels and carrier?

      Only if the bottles tip could it be an issue. I myself collect labeled and full bottles. To me, it is more desirable to keep them full. To other collectors, they'd rather have them empty.
      It all depends on the collector.

      If a cap is salvageable on my crown top bottles, I remove it and replace it with a modern cap.
