Thursday afternoon

I got what I assume was the same e-mail (I deleted it without opening it). I'm in WV and don't actively seek Northwest flats, so I think they aren't very targeted.

Every can sold in WV from 1945 to 1980 was 3.2%. Every flat top and pull top can from 1950 to 1980 had a 3.2% WV tax lid on it. I have over 600 cans with a WV tax lid in my collection. WV tax WIED-2.jpg Thats just one state. Some other states that had 3.2 beer had more brands for sale that West Virg...

I got my "Beer Can Birthday Celebration" cans today. Thanks, Scott.

Don't know if they put their logo on these cans. Chicago Daily Times 3-30-1945

Don't know anything about the glass, odd that the brewery name has been rubbed out.

I'd have to try a PK from Mountain State or a Black Diamond from North Pole, but those are way back local brands you all have never heard of. For a name brand, I'd like to try a Red Top, my Dad always said it was his beer of choice, more for the price than the taste (he didn't really care for beer),...

I was in the second grade.

It has a wide seam, and is a National Can Co. can. Both that design and 2-100-33-0 (the National Can Co. design with red letter "Brewed and Packed by") are commonly, but not always, paint overs. I did find a Whitman and Lords under one, but usually found pop cans.

Yeah, planning to.

I don't suppose this would really qualify for those of you that specialize in Malt Lager cans.

I picked one up for Jim at Canvention. Probably that one.

And Metbrew/brau? Why did anyone ever drink that?

When I log in through bcca.com, I can search the new can date base. When I got directly to the supplement page and try to search the New can data base I get this. Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dep...

In my limited, non-tech experience, the new cans database works much better if you enter it after logging in to bcca.com, rather than directly into the supplement page. The other databases work okay either way, but the new can database, not so much.

Its in West Virginia, so it should be everywhere.

Just a poor job of drawing a cone top can.

I got mine from Glen Raisner 10 or so years ago, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the one in the supplement.

Mine isn't for sale or trade but here are it's lid and bottom./attachment]

It's a production run. Brewing Co. of America and Carling used it on both Black Label and Red Cap. The 2 Brewing Co. of America Black Label cans just come from different can plants? (I probably save more fine line differences than I should.

I agree with your impression of the can design. When I first saw it, I thought it was an off brand also. Don't really care for its taste either. Of course, my favorite years ago was Upper 10 (that's an obsolete brand for you).

Danny, I signed in as First Name. I guess none of us would do too well betting on basketball games.

I'll take 11 to noon on Friday. (Ted Wolfe)

Mickeys was okay, except the more of them you drank the more beer you slopped out trying to open those big pull top lids. If I was going to drink a Malt Liquor back in the 70's I stuck with Country Club. Well, I think Carlsberg Elephant was labeled a Malt Liquor, but I didn't consider it one.

Got my present from the Holiday show today. Thanks Buddy (and Sea Monkey).

I don't know much about Texas cans, but I would imagine they sold more Special than Superlite. It's not just Lite, it's Superlite. San Angelo Daily Standard May 25, 1954

From The West Virginia Encyclopedia Cockfighting has roots in many parts of the world, including the British Isles and northwestern Europe. Western Virginia’s early settlers descended from these areas, and they brought knowledge of the sport with them. Soon cockfighting established itself in our mou...
