Pre Prohibition beer can.

Post by Leon »

Seller calls this can Pre Prohibition. Wouldn't that make it like around 1919 or before? LEON.

Yep. They apparently couldn't bother to do a little research.

Is it possible he meant pre-IRTP since this can has a permit number?

It looks like the seller corrected the ad. If it really was a pre-pro beer can, his description of "rare" would have been a significant understatement.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

My Strong Version can say's not over 5%. I don't think they considered 4% strong. Even though it was slightly higher then the standard 3.2%. This guy will put any cap on a cone. I know because I sold him a bunch of cones 5+ years ago. When I sold them to him they had no caps or crowns but when he resold them on ebay they suddenly did. LEON.
