Coors Light test?? in Morean auction

What's the difference between this 'test' can (currently at $175 on Morean) and the normal version, which regularly sells for $5 or less on ebay?

Re: Last year for tab top production?

I distinctly remember when I was in college in 84-86 and I was building the typical pull tab chains for dorm decorations. The odd thing is that during this time all of the soda cans had sta-tabs but most beer cans still had pull tabs - does anybody have any insight as to why the 2 industries were ou...

Bub's STRONG and DNCMT3.2%

Is this a normal can - it's the STRONG version, but it also has the <3.2% statement by the seam. These 2 features seem to contradict each other

Re: A funny thing in & after Prohibition- "Legal Beverages" in ads

Just a theory, but maybe the ones that use "beer" or "liquor" are from shortly after prohibition, when there were a lot of restrictions on legal booze, such as 3.2% beer and not a lot of liquor licenses. Maybe competitor bars were selling illegal bootleg booze or selling without ...

Re: Interesting "Transition?" Pabst?

@clark Thanks for the post and the pic! Curious. Did the other cans in that six pack have regular tabs? Any chance you photo'd or kept any of those? ( MI-Cans ) Glad to help. The others were normal tops. Remember this was around 1980, so there are no photos. Your Pabst is probably from mid-late 60'...

Like anything else, it's worth whatever anyone is willing to pay for it. If it makes the buyer happy, kudos to them. Classic '70s appeal though... like a Volkswagon Beetle with a Rolls Royce bonnet... Sure, but in this case it seems likely these bidders think this is a "real" cone top, wh...

That looks identical to the real cone except for the mandatory and "a nod to the" words. I think even the height of the black outline box matches the cone and the fat red stripe on the top makes up for the height difference.

Re: Status of shows and events because of the Coronavirus situation

Just one guy's opinion, but I think small local shows can be done safely today. We just need to follow the basic rules; don't attend if you're sick or vulnerable, wear masks, keep tables spaced 6' apart.
