Grand Opening!
Grand Opening indeed!....last night while searching the archives for other soda can related ads I discovered this glorious ad!
The cans came in straight side and crimped from Continental Can Co. plant #483, at this time I do not know if plant #59 made the tape top.
This opening style was short lived and only lasted till late 1977 or maybe early 1978.
Coke tape top-The Chilliwack Progress 12 May 1976 Wed.-......source newspapers dot com.
Here are several cans I have, the two Coke variations are only marked CC, the rest that are shown have the #483 code. This is the backs of the two SunPac's marked with the #483 plant code.

Re: Grand Opening!
It depends on condition for one thing...a standard can is only $5-10, then if it's a promotional can they are worth a bit more, there are some that fetch as much as 300-500!...those are the ones from the Continental Can Co. board member meeting, they are pretty rare...that one is pictured in the coke can archive.treasurehunter1 wrote:I have one of the 10 oz coke cans that was in a box of beer cans i bought what are they worth.

Re: Grand Opening!
Part of my "strange tab top" collection. There were several different styles used that I've seen on cans. I believe the majority of these were never marketed and were used just for testing. I have several tops that have notes written on them with temp and pressure data.Canadacan wrote:Those are so cool!...yours?, were they all actually used at some point?

Re: Grand Opening!
Hey Kurt, went to a sale of a container division employee and found some rocket bottoms with test tops, also some 8oz. softcross. No 12oz'ers. Getting closer though. They all had beer in them and some still do- need any? Bjorn

Re: Grand Opening!
Thanks for keeping me in mind! I do not need any of those. All were pretty popular styles. Not sure on value as most folks don't care much about weird tops....let alone aluminum Miller cans!hover31 wrote:Hey Kurt, went to a sale of a container division employee and found some rocket bottoms with test tops, also some 8oz. softcross.
