Schlitz Longview cans

[Ziphippie]

certainly don't see many Longview Schlitz cans around these here parts- can't find them in the book, any help would be appreciated. Bjorn

I like that can with the star. Is that a Texas thing? Meaning, I've seen Busch, Bud and Miller cans with Texas emblems on them, indicating that they are brewed in Texas.

Could well be. Offhand, I think the Old Milwaukee Texas cans date back to the Strohs days.

I have a tap handle that says Strohs brewed in Texas
probably not rare but have never seen another.

Yes. Stars are a common theme on all things Texan as we are known as the Lone Star State.

However, as far as Schlitz cans go, the Jaycees can is the only one that identifies the brewery with a star. All others use the dot.

Here is my 10 oz. flat from Longview that I have had for many years. Years ago this can was seen every so often at can shows. Sorry for the crappy pictures, used my phone, not my camera.

[Longhorn Mike]

Awesome can Tom. It comes in both a flat and a tab.

I have found the ten ounce Longview can a few times here in Louisiana, always a flat, never a tab. It is interesting that the can lists the 1960 copyright, but the brewery didn't open in Longview until '66 or so.

This can turned a few years ago at an Indy ad show.
