Apologize for it not being Wednesday. Yes, I know it's Friday...

These arrived in the mail today. Six additions to my Silly Little Can Collection and Eight to my Variety collection.

The beer can stork dropped this on my doorstep. It is a early Pfeiffer zip... Only word's no speed bumps. Like all of zip tabs i have looked at, from Pfeiffer of Detroit. No words below the teardrop, like some flats do. :smt026

Jack, you asked about my top of my Pfeiffer zip top recently, you asked what kind of zip it was. The one I recently acquired at the Toledo show has what you call speed bumps. LEON.

New this week. Par T Paks might be tough. I was told the Cherry Col was a new flavor and only a couple of Cola seen before. Pretty cool none the least. If anyone has these or other flavors please share. Thanks!

White Seal Brewery - Flint, Michigan.

Kiewel’s operated a Michigan branch from 1939 to 1947.
This brewery location later became the Valley brewing company from 1949 to 1952....they canned the Heidelburg conetop. The building was torn down in 1992.
found this matching Grain Belt poster at a local shop that may have been cut down to fit the newer frame. Ziphippie

Interesting- 2 Minnesota based breweries maybe sharing advertising costs...and the same diamond shaped logo, which I thought was more of a Grain Belt trademark?

Ok, I’m gonna go down this road not knowing what I’m talking about, cause I mainly follow sodas but I have a lot of pull tabs like the ones shown. Can you share what you paid for the 70’s pulls that I’m assuming are common?

It's time to focus on replacing the remainder of the J's I sold off a decade ago, even if a.couple of these are upgrades. I still need to replace Blatz, both Bruck's labels 3.2% - 7%, Pilsener Type by Frederick's, Topaz and Kuebler Ale (oval) with union label right of seam.

@Beamer

Fox Deluxe quart cone top from Grand Rapids.

This can arrived in my mailbox today. It's not as nice as the one Beamer got at Cabin Fever earlier this year but I am still grateful to get it. It cost $45 net which was less than I anticipated. Either that means my valuation was wrong or proof that you should not have auctions end on a major holiday.

Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

2023 Shows Attended

* Michigan Chapter Winterfest, January 14, Frankenmuth Michigan
* Cabin Fever Reliever, February 24, Mishawaka Indiana

Thanks! I've seen a couple blue ones that were virtually perfect, but they were rolled and this one is all-original and bottom opened. I'm also not clear as to whether there's a rarity difference between the "long mandatory" and "short mandatory" variations ongrade.
