Is this a Red Blatz Can?
I came across this picture.....Is it just Me or is there a Red Blatz Can here?.....It looks Red to Me because there seems to be an Orange one there as well....I did not know there is a Red one or am I just losing My mind!?!?

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
OMG-Can’t believe if someone really did ruin a pink one to make it red. Don’t let them know, or they’ll probably pull out the steel wool and gasoline to try to remove the paint

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
LOL....Right.....I got this picture from doing a Google search on the Christmas Cans....At first I was thinking WOW a unknown color.But it's not!....I did always wonder why there isn't a Red one?....Red would be a natural Christmas Color!

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
Yeah. I too have pulled up this photo on a google image search a couple years ago when I mentioned to my wife that I would like to work on the Blatz Christmas cans, and she was "well... what do they look like?" You would think that red would have been one of the colors chosen for this set, but then again... I remember as a kid waiting for the solid Green Olde Frothingslosh can that never came...mrlager428 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 5:23 pm I got this picture from doing a Google search on the Christmas Cans...

When I did the search I noticed a lot of Blue and Green Cans....I figured those two are the most common colors of the six....Im still looking for the Pink one to complete My set.

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
A member in here, Mark Underwood used to Specialize in Blatz cans. I have not seen him in here lately but I'm sure he could tell you a lot about these Christmas cans, I can remember him telling me all about them over 20 years ago. LEON.

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
Oh yea I wonder if that is the Guy I got My 10oz.Blatz from?....He told Me He Specialized in Blatz Cans.....Yes He would be the one who would know about the Christmas Cans!......From what I have seen I think the Pink and Powder Blue Cans are the hardest to come by then comes the Yellow and Orange then it's the Green and Dark Blue Cans being the common or easier to find pair??....Thats just My opinion!......Maybe now it is the Red one being the Rarest!!......LOL!!

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
Yeah, back then 20+ years ago I remember him telling me the Pink & light blue were the toughest. I seem to remember him mentioning a Red Blatz also, maybe he seen the same can or pic? LEON.

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
Does anyone have a soft cover printing of the Beer Can Bible? I know that the colors of the reprints are off in later editions...like a Drewrys Mountie can with a purple shield instead of blue and a Henslers orange striped can that looks to be orange and black (actually just a metallic gold Hensler that appears black due to being tarnished). Perhaps the orange Blatz looks red in that printing of the Bible.

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
I've got the hard cover too.... that's why I asked if someone could check the soft cover edition to see if the orange can looks red... to see if that's where Mark Underwood thought he saw a red Christmas can.

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
in the softcover book on the bottom row it does look like a red can with an orange can next to it, the hardcover book is on top and the can next to the red can looks original yellow. Could see where that would lead to some confusion. Bjorn

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
I have both the Hard & Soft versions of the Bible. Here's my scans of the cans Chris asked about (Drewrys, Hensler, and finally Blatz). Also did a search for pics of the Blatz Christmas series and here's some links.

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
I just saw this. Yep, I was the Blatz guy. Sold my cans, or most of them, to Rich Bickle.
From what I researched, there was some funny rotation of the Christmas cans in the six packs. The Baby Blue one was the rarest, followed by Pink, then Orange. The other four- Yellow, Green, Blue and the common Tan one- were all equally dispersed. Supposedly there was a method to the way the cans were put in the six packs. Bob McCoy explained it to me, I think, about 20 years ago.
Never saw a Red one or suspected one. I remember thinking there was a Magenta one for awhile. Don't remember why.

Very Cool!!....Thankyou for Posting this!! ......I have seen a lot well not a lot but enough of these Christmas Blatz Cans with Bank Tops.....Like in the 4th link You have provided here.So would that mean that there were more of these Cans made?.....I have seen all six colors with the Bank tops.I personally am looking for Cans that held Beer...I guess My question is are the Bank Top Cans rarer than the ones that held Beer?.....Also I don't remember seeing any that were Rolled.I am sure there are some out there?

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
I never knew that the Common Tan Blatz Can was part of the mix!?!.... ......I have too wonder what they at Blatz were thinking at the time?....It would seem to Me that a Red Can would be way more in line with the Christmas theme than a Tan colored Can!!.....Who knows maybe adding another Color too the set would have been too costly??....It sure would have been nice though!!MarkfromIndy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2018 9:33 pm I just saw this.

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
As I remember, Bob McCoy had a mint six pack in a mint holder and the tan can was one of the original six and he said he had run across a few and the tan can was always in the six. (No luck getting it off him, but he did sell me his 1/1+ OD High Profile Blatz cone..)

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
Cans with original holder.
You mean like this?
I am missing the Pink can, and can upgrade the baby blue someday.....
I have also seen different colors of the six pack holder.
I have never seen a red can, although I agree with an earlier poster: it would have been a cool color to have used.

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
Guys, I know this belongs in the advertising section but since 3 different people mentioned needing the pink one in this thread, I'm putting it here.
I was able to upgrade mine to an ongrade example. Therefore this one is available. I'd rate it around 1- but what do I know? It has great color and is bottom opened but there is speckling in the paint around the entire can.
PM me for questions, prices, more pics, etc...

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
Absolutely agree the common tan version was part of this set. Had a friend who got a couple original 6’s many yrs ago & the tan was in both. I have a tan variant on my shelf that has a Dec 55 date stamped on the seam. Am verrry skeptical a red exist unless it was a orange that weathered into a red submerged in a lake....

Re: Is this a Red Blatz Can?
We're probably splitting hairs here, but just from my experience, the pink was the toughest for me. I've had several of the baby blue cans, but never, ever came close to getting a pink can. I've never even seen one in person. For me, the yellow, blue and green was fairly easy to be had in dumper and on-grade conditions. The orange a bit tougher. The baby blue a REAL challenge and the pink totally impossible.
Currently in a collecting funk. Waiting for the bug to bite again to get back into collecting some type of cans, on a small, affordable level.
