When my grandfather passed, we found beer from the 50s and 60s (we guessed at the ages based on the designs -- it was stamped with local sports team memorabilia). We kept some of the Pittsburgh-sports team ones, in fact, and they're at my parents home on display with the rest of my fathers sports memorabilia. I also remember finding very old unopened soda bottles, though I am not sure what happened to those. Point being, I agree with you that it's probably not as rare as one might think on a first pass.
