"Only Can Known" - Photo Composite of Possible Cans

#1

Post by storzman »

I re-posted the photos here I placed in General Discussion. The idea is to post photos a can you feel has a reasonable chance of being only known/found example - and the rest of the collectors that frequent the site can over time post their example of that same can if there are others known - and as a result the list will narrow down a lot.

The likelihood is a number of cans discussed as only known will be shown to not be the only one - but other cans, possibly mandatory variations, etc - will not have other examples identified.

I would suggest that all types of variations be allowed to go on the list - at some point after the dust settles we might categorize them, but test cans, rolled cans - including unrolled sheets, air sealed cans, canning codes and other variations should be posted. The fun will be sorting it out once the list thins down.

The list will be live and ongoing. The general discussion threads might be a good place to put a possible only known can forward so if proven not unique on that forum then it would not make this list.

The BCCA has established a numbering system for adding cans into the USBC I and II by adding an additional suffix at the end - and a 1 (flats/cones) or 2 (tab/tests) at the front. So you'll see the numbers I have submitted on these cans to the USBC so they can be inserted in the correct chronological order to the original books.

So I'm going to start with a couple of posts from my tall cans that are possibilities. Hope others join in adding theirs.

More possibilities - some of the Schlitz are commonly seen from other cities - but these samples may be unique from where they were brewed.
