Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
I would guess that's a good one, Since the Brewery only lasted till 1963 in Baltimore, I'd guess it should be either a Aluminum Soft top Flat top or a Zip Top Pull Tab. Maybe a Test can. LEON.

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
@MEM1964 Considering the other 7oz aluminum cans in that same neck of the woods (i.e. Baltimore)....Gunther and National.....I could see consideration might have been given to trying out a 7oz Hamms....Since the Hamms Brewing Co. took over Gunther Brewery there was likely already the 7oz canning line to consider....

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
@MEM1964 and @Leon Based on the date of this article The Baltimore Sun Wed Jun 24 1959 and the acquisition of the Gunther Brewery by Hamms (1960), I'd say they likely gave the 7oz aluminum cans some serious consideration........BTW if you were ever wondering when those 7oz aluminum Gunther cans were produced.......

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
The demise of the Kaiser Aluminum plant there in Baltimore likely drove the decision not to make the Hamms cans.....again time that with the acquisition by Hamms....1960....

I don't even keep 7/8 oz. cans but I think this Hamm's is incredibly cool! Never seen one in 45 years of collecting!

You sir, with the amount of Hamm's collectors, may have found a one of a kind - which we all know on this site is worth $4300.

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
As a collector that specializes in the little cans - that is AWESOME!. How come with no lid? Has anyone seen one with a lid? I assume it was alum.
Thanks for posting and find another one for me!

It pays to look through recycling bins on garbage night. Never know what the people in the neighborhood are throwing out.

You need to write this up and send to Rustlings in great detail. This is the type of story that wins awards at Canvention. Let me know if you need an editor.

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
Not to take anything away from this amazing thread but @Leon asked..........here is the one can on my shelf that I dug in Va. a few years ago. Not sure if I keep many of them. They were "Just a stinkin' Hamms!!" at the time....this is the one I've kept for my shelf....

Any Hamms or Maryland Specialist know how tough Keiths can is or the Blue with White Crown zip top is? Curious. LEON.

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
Any Hamms from Baltimore is a decent can imho, been flipping every one for years looking for ones for my former east coast shelf. Only found 1 blue can with the aluminum top.
Totally agree with the competition with national and Gunther

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
There are a lot of collectors (me included) that would love to add this 7 ouncer to their collection. Looks like a can that never went into production and was never filled. Great find. If you are looking for a buyer count me in!

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
Not much goes on in the 7 & 8 oz world. So this is a stunning find. I wonder why Hamms did not add this to their production. The other 7 oz Aluminums from there seemingly had a decent run for years.

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
I've dumped the zip and the Sunburst cans many times. The 16 oz cans and the last flat are tough. I'm still looking for the ones with the silver band along the top.

Re: Todays find 11-15-18 Hamm's 7oz
Completely outside of my collecting focus - but as already has been said - cool can! Had no idea Hamms bought the old Gunther plant - nor that Gunther claimed to be first in aluminum 7oz cans?
Expired once again in Portland ...

Al, is it by Theo. Hamm Brewing Company, Baltimore, MD or Theo. Hamm Brewing Company of Baltimore, MD? (It comes both ways) I hope its rare but since I have one I doubt it.
