Unpictured Edelweiss low profile variation

[Greg Sgro]

I have been happy to have the actual low profile Edelweiss pictured in the USBC, even though it has a spot on the front. I don't see many of them and I keep an eye out. Last week one turned up on Ebay and it was nicer than mine so I bid. It arrived today and it is a variation. The USBC can is the one on the right with no alcohol statement. The new can is the one on the left with the 4% statement. I don't usually keep variations unless it is visible on the face but I might keep both of these for a while. It feels great to get a new can you didn't even know was out there.

I have 2 diff Edelweiss lo-pros as well.... and one has an alcohol statement....dont remember what % it says though...

The one I seen on ebay last week did not look like it would pass the Blacklight test. Looked like a Professional Airbrush job. I could be wrong & no insult intended but I'd look at it real good. LEON.

I love it when that happens and another can get on the shelf by surprise. You might want to take Leons advice.

Thanks,

Leon,

I checked it out carefully under black light in a dark room and I don't see anything unusual.

[Leon]

OK

[BrianS]

Nice cans!

[Rockbob]

Any lo pro Edelweiss is good! Nice score!

[canman65]

Nice Job! I turn some cans, on the shelf, to show the difference. Jack.

[Cap-Sealed]

Yes, Edelweiss lo-pros are very underated and rare!

[Matt Menghini]

That variation is out there. I've had it a couple of times, and have sold one on eBay at least once. Matt.

It is a a great can. I scored an off-grade indoor one with no top at Blue Gray in the early 2000's. Since traded it to STLABC. Don't see too many of these bad boys.

great can

I have always wondered why Continental Can Co. abbreviated "applied" in "Pat appl'd for" because there's plenty of room for the "ie" to be there.

I dumped a very rough Edelweiss LP last month at lake Delhi in Iowa, and it bears the 4% statement as well. It's a razor top instead of bulb style. At grade 5, it nonetheless will go on the shelf!

[Wheaton]

Probably the first dumper I've ever seen of that can. Very cool.

[Candog]

Wheatie, Here's a second dumper picture for you then:

There's a LP Edelweiss in here somewhere.

Don't know where I got it but I know I didn't dump it. Also don't know which variation it is. If I remember I'll check tonight.

Thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth.
2 years ago I was privileged to see an awesome collection, and was very surprised by what I found. I knew there were 2 Edelwiess Lp cones, but a third I was not aware of.
The third Lp is a transition can that looks like 160-28, "secret brew 12 ounces".
Sorry- I've been trying to find the pics, but so far, I have not found copies I can download.
Will keep trying.
Cheers, Neil

Great thread everyone! For further consideration I would love some feedback for DGR updates. The LP (BCU 23-10), HP version (Secret Brew, BCU 23-8) and HP (BCU 23-9) all rated a 4. Any thoughts on updated DGR ratings of those cans plus other variations, pictured or not, would be appreciated.
