It's always a fun thing when you land an earlier brand variation so you can see the generations. This Alpine Club RB is noted in the guide but as a flat top only, now we know they came in pull tops too.
Something most other collectors are not aware of is the fact that this is basically a Loblaws product...these early cans are marked 'Packed For Sunfresh Foods Limited, Toronto'. The second can is marked 'Loblaw Groceterias Co. Limited, Toronto, Canada ....and the last 'Lablaws Limited, Toronto, Canada'.
I do not know if there is any generations of cans past the oz/ml version that is not the 'No Name' brand in the yellow packaging...which by the way is marked 'This is a No Name Product Prepared for Sunfresh Limited......Sunfresh is a wholesale company or division owned by Loblaws.
I made the connection between Alpine and Loblaws last year when I spotted this 30oz bottle on the internet.

Yes it's no coincidence that National cans have the identical logo inverted, Loblaws bought major shares in 1956 and soon took controlling interest in National Tea co.
Here is a link from Loblaws site on the company history, just click the arrow! :)
