Re: Rarest 10 Half Quarts?

Here's the Jet Malt Liquor 16 oz flat from Westminster in Chicago. I also have the matching 12 oz flat and it has Continental Can Co's "triple C" logo, but the pint flat doesn't have a can-maker's logo anywhere on it that I can tell.
Back to a previous comment asking about the 16 oz Richbrau tab from Home Brewing Co. in Richmond, VA: That can came out as a last gasp right before they went out of business in 1969 and is extremely tough, even for collectors in the Richmond area. It took me years of looking 'til I finally got a rough faded example, and then a few more years later fellow Richmond collector Danny Morris let me get his can which is the one I still have now. After Home Brewing Co. closed operations in Richmond, Richbrau Beer was acquired by Queen City Brewing Co. and brewed for a little while longer out of Cumberland, MD and you see those 16 oz tabs all the time. Try finding one from Richmond, though. I think it's about a 100 : 1 ratio of Cumberland vs Richmond.
