Question about Pabst O/I ???

[beerhunter14]

I received a Pabst O/I can in the mail today. Looking through the Lilek book to figure out what I have.. which is 642. While I browse thru the book to see how many different variation are in there. I know I'll never complete. Because I only interesting cans that brewed in WI. I notice there is a blue and red opener (churchkey) . While looking for the different, it seem to me that any can that brewed in Milwaukee will have a blue opener. While can that brewed in Peoria Height, ILL will have a red opener. My question Is there a such of thing a red opener brewed in Milwaukee ?? Or does not exist ???

Not that I've heard of

[Brent Gesland]

Me either....

Never seen one? LEON.

I take it, They never make a red opener brewed in Milwaukee. It make sense for the can plant , Have a red opener in Peoria Height, ILL So they know the different.

[Pokey]

Yes, the red openers are always from Peoria Heights and the blue (or black for Bock & Old Tankard) are always Milwaukee.

Porkey- Thank for the update.

I can move this to another thread if not pertinent.

Of note: on the 1940 - 41 non-OI Pabst Blue Ribbons:

Peoria Heights variations: Keglined panels are RED

Peoria Heights: Silver side..........................white side variations

Milwaukee variations: Keglined panels are BLUE.

Milwaukee: Silver side....................White Side......................Dull Gray side variations....

Longopener- That interesting !!! On the 1940-41 non-OI Keglined panel. I never knew about those variation.

There are 2 versions of the 1940-41 can, the 96/97 Years on the side panel. Did BOTH versions from Peoria get the white AND silver side panels? and same for the Milwaukee versions??
