POST YOUR "VANITY" LIDS HERE.

[MI-Cans]

Came across this page in the BMV from 1980. Very interesting summary of what I believe everyone refers to as Vanity lids. (Correct me if my thinking is wrong.)

Please read through it and if you have images of lids that are described, please post them here. (Only provide head-on shots of the lids, glare-free if possible. Don’t need to see the sides of the cans.)

I found another article written by Lovegun. Added it here.

A while back there was a post where many of you contributed images of their “EASY OPEN” lids. I put them together in this post: https://www.therustybunch.com/phpBB3/vi ... 99#p380599
Eventually, they will all be put together in separate categories under one title in the Reference Section.

Whatever you provide, I will try to put together similar groups of images.

Thanks, Rand.

Exactly what I was looking for. Got a handful off the Internet that I have to rotate and edit and I'll post them.

@bantam10
Thanks...Love that Big D!

@IRTP Phil
Yes, Bottom lids are still lids!

@Beamer
Mike, The Pearl is Easy Open and already in the other thread that I mentioned. But, thanks.

I think I may have to divide it all into specific categories.

This is on the bottom of my early Drewrys zip top

Ted, because it has a Zip lid, It'll stay with this group. The Easy Open group is strictly for aluminum soft lids that required a church key. Thanks.

Good topic.

Mostly soda lids but some beer too. There’s probably more in my totes but these were the easiest to get.

One of the best from Colorado.

[MI-Cans]

First, really appreciate all your responses and the time and effort posting images!

@willssoda
Thanks to you, I will make a separate category for soda cans. Most, I've figured out, but not these. A little assistance?

ALL GROUP IMAGES HAVE BEEN MOVED TO POST #41. THANK YOU!

Very cool topic. Here are a few from my collection. I started selling my cans with vanity lids a couple years ago, otherwise I’d have more to share.

This is a 1935 Waldorf and apparently predates the Ohio state seal seen on Ohio tax lids from 1936 and later. I'd love to know of any other cans with this on the lid.

Dumped these Pabst Exports in Wyoming last year. Sorry I don't have a better image.

Lids states "Full Old Time Alcoholic strength".

Thanks for the reminder, Jim. I have a different Pabst Export with that lid, and I also noticed that one of my long opener Pabst cans is different from the one Rand posted in that it has an alcohol statement. Hopefully someone can provide an Eigenbrot's with the text centered and printed more clearly.

Ed, I'd post better individual pics if I could find them &/or still have them. Most of those were real old pics that were saved on my computer. LEON.

[MI-Cans]

@Leon
No problem, Leon. I'll work with what you gave me.

I found a few more. Plus I was asked to individually post the group of six I posted earlier.
