The Rusty Bunch

@Dixie Dave Sadly the dirt was behind the plastic and in front of the rusty metal so that was straight out of the dump

Sadly the color is on the plastic and the metal behind it is rusty and busted up....but always makes for some pleasure....

How about these two.....

Yeah seeing the ale on the sides....as always the RBer experts are on it.....

Any thoughts on this unidentified Low Pro? There clearly is an ale near the seam. Found in Maine. @menke @Conehead

So while looking into Imperial beer being sold in St Louis I happened across this ad. Is this just a poor artist rendition "Hey Publisher....we're going to be selling Imperial beer here soon and here is a quick sketch to get it in the paper". The right image was put in the paper a week later.... The...

So when I did my story with Bob L He mentioned that one of his favorite digs was the Imperial can....here is the ad in the St Louis paper from The_St__Louis_Star_and_Times_Thu__Aug_10__1939 so there should be no doubt that the can was sold locally...

Dart Drug from Bavarian is a sleeper. One sold for over $200 a while back. Grand Union picture frame is a decent can. Old Style is a sleeper, but it's an Old Style, so,... Gamecock Ale, Matts, Narragansett Ale, Hedricks, Krueger Ale, Krueger beer, and Hanley Pilsner are a few standouts. Pbama Yes o...

Not sure if this can design was just an ad artist rendition but I know of no cans with the words "New Flip-Top" at the top of the can.....I also like how they still made the suggestion to still open it from the bottom....

Amazing how you look at things sometimes when you are a devote fan of this great hobby. Take for instance how much we look at images in movies and TV sometimes for beer and brewery related items....this came to light again for me when I captured these beer related items in recent Titans season 2 epi...

I finally managed to get a gold Budweiser split label with the IRTP on the lid. First saw one when Dan Scoglietti picked one up at the Spring Thaw show. Seems Bud was transitioning out of the solid gold cans but was still in the IRTP mandatory window. So rather than put the IRTP on the can they chos...

@MI-Cans Ed another interesting note is that although the Beverwyck beer was the can noted in the 1935 newspaper ad AND 1935 magazine ad, the image of the can was NOT included in the 1936 ad. Yet there were two versions of the Beverwyck ale cans in the photos.

@Leon Thanks for posting that ad. Looks like everyone that signed up with Continental up until the time of the ad. I noticed they're not in alphabetical order. With Schlitz being the first at the top, I wonder if they're in the order of signing up or production? I also wondered what they'd look lik...

So, Pietro Raimondi made a comment about the National Ale can being released in Asheville, NC so thought to do a little more research on additional advertisements. These findings are based solely on what publications are available to me in newspapers.com. Here were the findings (these also primarily...

I was able to finally find the Kato ad and added it to the top....

Matt Menghini Looks like one in worse shape was sold on eBay as well back on 1 July 2019.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Old-Bohemian-Club-Cone-Top-Lager-Beer-Can-Spokane-Washington-Steel-Metal-IRTP-/392319547334?hash=item5b581137c6%3Ag%3AoMAAAOSw2x9cxy4m&nma=true&si=3FCjM2TrnNjOo%252F%252FubeQcxE6KW2...

MI-Cans Thanks for moving that topic since it was related to 1936 vice 1936. I do however want to thank Leon for adding the magazine article since it helps narrow down at least one more can (Red Lion Ale) from 1935 that I could confirm through advertising. My search of Cap-sealed didn't produce the...

So I originally wanted to see if I could update any of the Continental plant listings which Rusty Bunch has a renowned listing of. Before I knew it I found myself down a "Cap-sealed" advertisement rabbit hole and was enjoying what I was finding. Here are all the ads I was able to find on newspapers....

Mark (expired) I find it interesting that although Continental Canning Company obviously developed an obvious test can but never seemed to have gotten an actual production can off the ground until much much later. Also, based on the dates on the bottom of my can and foreigncanman Tom's can I though...

I'm not sure if getting the exact dates down for the very first aluminum can are determined but this Continental aluminum test can sure helps understand it some. I was lucky enough to get this can. When I first unpacked it from the box I noticed how heavy the can seemed. Then peering down inside the...

WOW!! That is a lot of material in a very short time! Thank you! I enjoy doing brewery histories as many know and am listed as a BCCA historian. There are some good histories I wrote that can be found here: https://www.bcca.com/beer-breweries-and-breweriana/ BTW Thanks goes to idigrust Danny for po...

All the sales on the German eBay have ended so thought this was worth sharing.....I take a peak at the German eBay every now and then. This past weekend I happened to notice some pretty amazing beer can sheets from Europe listed. foreigncanman could probably tell you the rarity and toughness on some...

Pokey Ok Here is what I was able to gather from newspapers.com Looks like there was one earlier reference to the "Jamestown Brewery" related to a murder trial but believe this was just likely named after the city. The real first mention is in the Jan 15 1897 article. A few other articles included e...

@Pokey You know I like a good brewery history challenge......I'll have something for you later but here is a tease....

@idigrust Danny...is it just me or is the "supersize" for images broke since the last update? I noticed that the recent photos posted related to @hover31 Bjorn's tabs didn't supersize....

Still hoping one day to be able to knock some of these of my list and get added to the shelves.....I've only knocked out one within the last year...

and oh @kb Gary will make sure to toss all those 12 Horse Long Openers back since you aren't looking for those anyway.....

@kb Now you're going to make me, Angry Gary @ANGRY GARY and Glenn @glenn look at every dang Genesee can when we going digging next month in Maine.....

Football....smootball.......get in there and bid!!!

This arrived today and is still full...not a perfect can but not a slouch....
This ad was likely the crowntainer since it was during the IRTP period
