Help with can IDs

Trying to ID the cans in this snapshot. I believe the one on the left is a Meister Brau series flat top, and the one behind it might be, as well. But what about the can on the right?

Re: 11oz Old Style Lagers

I saw that two. I was only aware of two variations previously, but this one does look like it has silver trim, which would make it a third variation. Would love to see it in person, though.

Re: Morean Auction - June, 2022

The “hiding money” theory doesn’t fly, either, because that would mean to get the money back OUT of the purchase you’d have to sell it for at least what you put in. What good does it do to “hide” the money there if you can’t get your value back out?

I have a very similar can. Mine is almost the same, but with white trim rather than silver. Bottom is white, too. I don’t think they’re fake or fantasy cans. I figured mine was a test can, but just speculating.

Nice find, Bjorn. Nope, mine didn’t hold beer, either. It’s air-sealed. I prefer all-origina cans that actually held beer, but do have a few that aren’t — especially oddballs like this.

Schlitz flat without a year

All the Schlitz flats I’ve ever seen have the year printed on them, except this 8 oz. version on the far left. The text on the back is different, and the copyright R is also in a different location. For comparison, I’ve included the 1963 flat and tab. Anyone else seen one?
