Breweriana with cans

#1

Post by stringsx24now »

I have always thought that beer advertising showing actual cans are neat pieces. Over the years I have seen signs and other breweriana featuring cans--not a lot, but some. Usually one sees bottles depicted on the advertising pieces. They are not as interesting to me, probably because I collect cans primarily. I have only two pieces that have a can as part of the advertisement, what advertising pieces do you have that have cans on them? Bonus points for picturing the actual/similar can with the breweriana piece.
Let's keep this thread cans only, someone else can start a bottle thread.

I know there are items out there with some really neat and hard cans pictured on them. Let's see them!

So does the Bud tray lend credence to the silver eagle claw Bud theory? ;)

This is the only piece I have with a can on it. I have lots with bottles since Wes the West Virginia man is holding a tray with a bottle and glass on it in many pieces of Fesenmeier breweriana. I don't think they sold a lot of beer in cans given how difficult it is to find one, especially in nice shape. Add in small brewery from a small state with limited distribution and it makes them even tougher. This sign lights up and is three sided and each side is different. The other sides do not have a can on them. I bought it on eBay many years ago and the seller was in....Portland, Oregon. How weird is that?

Brian,

Great stuff, I especially like the gallon signs with cans on them. I definitely have my eyes out for those for you.

Some very impressive breweriana with cans. That Fox Deluxe is absolutely killer! Thanks for all the posts.

My first thought was I must have some trays, coasters, or signs in the garage that had can(s) pictured, but coasters only with bottles, trays only with bottles http://www.mbcinfo.com/Trays and closest I could get with signs is a Miller lighted with inside brewery picture.

Thanks to everyone that posted pictures, those are some really spectacular signs. Sadly, I don't have any of 'em. My favorites are the Acmes and the National Cans signs.
