First Fitzgerald's crowntainer?

#1

Post by eric »

Can on the right is 193-31. Can on the left is identical except that "Fitzgerald's" is in white. I'm thinking the white one is probably earlier than the other can and they eventually ditched the extra color (white) to save money like many brewers seemed to do.

Is this a known variation? How tough is it? Are there matching beer and garryowen ale cans?

Nice can!

Yes, this is a known variation, but I have only seen 2 others and both are in about the same shape as yours. I do not have it. I really don't have any information other than that. I don't believe that the Beer or Garryowen Ale came that way, but I'm always keeping an eye out for it.

Thanks for posting!

JIm is right! Super tough variation. This is the second time I've seen this variation. Great crowntainer!

Wow! Have never seen this before, or if I had didn't take notice of it. Do similar variations exist for the Burgomaster Beer and Garryowen Ale?

Yes they do I have some pics buried in my hard drive that shows there are 4 different Garryowens and 3 pale ale cans

The burgomeister came in OD but none have the change in color and label design as these do

If I can find the pics, I'll post
