This is not another Holy Grail list topic
We all know and have our own Holy Grail lit of cans that "someday" we would like to acquire. This topic is NOT THAT. This thread is about a list of iconic cans, cans that we would acquire, even though they may not fit into our collection niches or specializations, JUST because they are the cans that they are. Specialization-busters, they may be termed. Cans that cut across and attract almost everyone's attention when viewed in a collection. They may be of low value, or not. Actually, in a low-rent list, Billy beer might qualify, but I am not putting that on my list. Hopefully you understand what I am going for.
So, here is my list of a six-pack of iconic cans. Should you respond to this thread with your own list, try to keep it to a six pack.
1. Big Mac
2. Paul Bunyan
3. Rheingold Girls series can
4. Sir Lady Frothingslosh
5. Class
6. Beer-Propeller
Now, it should be noted, these are not necessarily my FAVORITE cans, just cans I think are about the most iconic

Re: This is not another Holy Grail list topic
Yes, the Gambrinus Chillicothe Can does exist. Pictured in Brewing Beer in Capitol City book and have confirmed there are 2 out there. One was pulled from Buckeye Lake years ago...one time only run in Chillicothe. And super rare.

Re: This is not another Holy Grail list topic
Like Billy I think 007 would make a nice conversation piece to display somewhere not in your collection. I also like all the 50's series cans, I know a lot are not so tough but if I was going to change my specialty that would be high on my list.

Re: This is not another Holy Grail list topic
When I was thinking about this post I had in mind to list the 007 can, either variation--but then had a brain fart and forgot. Same with Old St. Louis Steamboat can......I am glad others mentioned those two, and I guess I would revise my initial list to put those #5 and #6 from my list.
