I'd have to say 50's. That's about all I find. Plus there seems to be good variety here with that era.

1930's for me also, though an early 1940's can makes the cut now and again . . .

Mark Those are truly some kick-*** cans!!!I like the oldest cnas as well especially those that are in a style of the era. I like the older slogans as well like Vitamin G added from the old Fox cans.

Nice Leon!!....But am I not seeing Your White Long A Zip Top?....I see The Red Half Quart......I like the Zips!!

#13

I'm partial to cans of the 50's because that's what I can find around here, and because I love the colors and graphics of that era. I'm also quite fond ofthe art deco cans of the 30's, but I don't have nearly as many of those.

#14

Those are some beautiful cans Marc, thanks for posting. I am fan of the prewar cans as well, just so much more graphic and have designs that really fit the era. Plus it was an interesting time historically for beer cans sandwiched between prohibition and the war years. The removal of some of the German stuff from cans in the 30's was an interesting read.

If I had to narrow it down further I would say the 30's California cones are my favorites.

Leon all Your Displays with the Signs and Bottles and Cans are Way Cool!

......That stuff is Awesome!!

#17

I nthought for sure We would hear from and see some Zips and tough Pull Tabs??.....I guess not!?!........HUH!

#18

torn between pre-war with OIs and the art-deco designs, and the 1950s with the colorful sets. I also have a softspot for the mid-70s cans which I was so excited to collect then....

#19

50's and 60's are my favs. Love the graphics of 50's flats, then into zips and pulls.

#20

I love graphic cans, so that runs from the late 50's to the end of the straight steel can.

Cans like: Russer, Snow Crest, Colorado Gold Label, Schmidt & Pfiffer scenes, Pearl and Pearl Draft with the Texas Hill Country scene, Hochberg, Schells Hunter's Special, etc.

Leon (or any of the Michigan guys), what is the correct way to pronounce the brand Altes? Is it:

Alts?
All tez?
Al tez?
Something else?

I have always wondered since I was a kid.

Thanks - Mike

It looks like a lot of You like the 50's!!!There are a lot of Cool 50's sets and just Cool Graphics on Cans!!....But since I first started Collecting back in the early 70's I have always Loved the Earliest Cans!!....To Me those are the Coolest Cans I could Collect.

I was into Zips for awhile and still Love them!!!....But I have now started to focus back on the Oldest Cans!

#24

I only collect cones and flats but I really like the creativity shown in some of the new craft cans.

Super impressive Leon, seriously. Altes, however it's pronounced, you have it.

Love seeing all the variations, signs, etc. Lot of years to gather all of that, I am sure!

#30

Thanks guys. Some of the brands from far away regions are a mystery and it took a while to find out the proper way to say them.

Altes
Glueck
Goetz
Dobler

Etc.
