Re: 1965 Schlitz test can zip find

Yes, same can. Mine is full so it must have made it to final stages of market testing.
I was considering pulling all the test cans out of my straight steel and straight aluminum collection but I think now I'll keep them.

1965 Schlitz test can zip find

I was setup at the show yesterday and a guy walked in with a single can for sale. I had never seen this schlitz test can previously. Odd zip top. Can is full and straight aluminum. Mandatory reads 1965. I will take better pics later. Anyone see this schlitz design or have a similar can? 20240310_111...

Hank Aaron 1981 Reynolds aluminum can finally found

Last year at Canvention I loaned my Feller Reynolds can to the Rusty Bunch for the baseball display. I have been looking for the Hank Aaron version for awhile. Finally found one today to put on my canning plant collection.

Re: Superbowl show Bull Frog chapter take

Thanks, I looked but didn't see it. I saw the South Bend 3 city but thought it would be listed as 3 City Evansville because Evansville is listed as first city. Is this just a supplement mistake or does this can actually come from South Bend? I asked several SS collectors and they also didn't have it...

Re: Miller straight-side aluminum??

This can was taken off the line pre crimping. The crimping and flange were never completed so its the same diameter as a 211 lid. Im sure someone just put a lid on after. The edges of these are so straight and thin that you can literally take a 211 lid off another can and fit it over the end. This m...

Re: Fox Head Vat Aged Lager bottle variations... anyone seen any matching can variations

Cans are in the 200 range now for decent condition. Super clean much more.
The bottles are still very reasonable.
I do not know which of the bottles came first. If anyone has an answer to that, I would like to know.
