Post by MI-Cans »

Old Milwaukee is introducing another pinup set. First one is this month. Next one is in September and every four months after that. Here's a link to their announcement:

Interesting that Old Milwaukee in Canada has had pinups on their cans off and on since about 2005--I got my first set of 4 in June that year. Wonder why they never did this in the US before? Seems like these were pretty popular up north.

The first pic is of the last set I was aware of (OM - 71st Anniversary - I have them). The second pic is the original set. The third pic is of random pics I've seen on line but never in a complete set. Anyone have any idea as to how many were really in the original set? The last pic is Volume 3 (BCCA) stating that they were produced in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Some Internet searching yielded this group pic. I'll go out on a limb and say there's at least 6 in the original set. I'd like to put a set together if I can find the cans.

Because US girls (opps, women) would freak out over it calling it misogynist.
I dump cans and cars, if you find old cars & trucks while dumping, please let me know.
