Re: Test Tops on Miller Cans- Xmas in July
I like the one in the back right, never saw one like that before. Looks like those spikes might hurt you if you weren't careful.

Re: Test Tops on Miller Cans- Xmas in July
I can only see the lids of 3 cans on the left and a partial of 1 can on the bottom right and a sliver of the can above it. The top right can is not in the picture at all.

Re: Test Tops on Miller Cans- Xmas in July
Were any of these actually filled and sold? Besides the left one in the back row, that is.
Would have been REAL interesting for a loyal Miller drinker opening his beer and noticing "Anheuser-Busch" on the lid!

Re: Test Tops on Miller Cans- Xmas in July
The 2 hole punch was an "Oregon Bottle Bill" "eco-top" that was produced and sold in the late 1970's to early 1980's only in Oregon. It was the lid style that replaced the brief usage of soft tops in aluminum cans in response to the bill.The Oregon refund statement is always on both styles of lids. I will have lots of examples of both the Oregon soft tops and the 2 punch hole eco tops in many brands for sale at the Portland Canvention.

I recently traded off some PBR's with oddball lids I got from a longtime employee, they appeared to have held beer Bjorn
