I really like a lot of the stuff shown on this thread.
For today, my favorite non-can piece is something that I highly doubt that I will ever get the matching can, but I love the uniqueness of the label. It isn't as flashy as some of the signs shown, but one reason I got into bags as a collecting alternative is to get things like these.
Tomorrow will undoubtably be a different favorite piece.

When I first had the opportunity to get this from OctoberAle, I liked it but I did not love it. Since then, I have warmed up to it and now it is definitely part of my favorite non-can items.
