Re: Common or uncommon?

The more I look at it, I think it looks like the precursor to the stay tab that eventually took over in the later 1970's.

But that second rivet is troubling.

Re: 2024 March Madness RB brackets

Looking at the standings I have 2 questions:
1. The numbers just to the right of our champion pick, the ones in the parenthesis, what does that number mean or indicate?
2. What does CPK stand for when looking at point totals?

Re: Paper Label Crowntainers- Our story so far

Awesome thread! Of course, I like crowntainer s myself, so this is especially interesting to me. One note, and you probably already know this, on the Schlitz bock comparing it to the label below it, the font on the word bock is different from the can and label. Just a minor difference. Interesting t...

Common or uncommon?

I have seen the Budweiser tab top can many times. I have seen this type of lid (experimental?) on occasion. I don’t know if I have seen this lid on a tab top-labeled can. I discovered I had this when going thru some boxes of the collection packed away for many years. Common or uncommon? It is b.o. s...

I received a call from my daughter a few weeks ago, saying she was in an antique store with a friend, and she found a tray that looked interesting.

Re: 1965 Schlitz test can zip find

Waste-man: I understand on one level why you might think it is weird to fill a test can, but on another level, isn't that what one does when you have a test market? A company will have product go out to see if sales are impacted by the packaging of the product, so therefore they need to fill the can...

Re: Any Rheingold variation collectors out here ??

I think whoever was in charge of designing the cans were paid bonuses for re-designs, and he made a fortune. All these little design changes, some so minor, but obvious when we specifically look for them now. Maybe it was a job-security strategy for the guy.......

Re: New set of shelves

Yes, the post card is A-B. Actually, it is Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association. The postcard was sent and is postmarked 1907. It is noted as 'Busch Place' on the postcard, but is probably better known as the big house or mansion at Grant's Farm in St. Louis. Where all the Busch's lived and grew up.
