Old Milwaukee

[mrlager428]

I am a little curious about this Can....I have been watching Ebay for over a year now and I only see this Can with the Silver trim in Aluminum and those are from either Longview or Tampa....All the other Genuine Draft Beer Old Milwaukee's have the real Light Grey trim and they are dated the early 70's....Does anyone have this particular Can?....I dont think it's Rare I just haven't seen another!

I have that can. Paid $10 for it. Not seen too often.

Thankyou for Your input!....Yeah I have not seen one on Ebay anyway!...I thought it is a Cool looking Old Milwaukee!

I have 2 variations of the 1966 dated can. The other version has the date and mandatory on the bottom silver stripe.

Thank you for the Info. Bob!.....Now I can look for the other one!

I got 8 different variations of the draft can. The one I have just like yours( similar but 12 oz. at bottom) has a duller flat silver. I have one (maybe 2) that looks more like a goldish colored trim. LEON.

Leon I see You have 2 Aluminum Versions as well one from Tampa and is the other one from Milwaukee?....Those are Cool!

[Ziphippie]

Yeah.....gold, that’s funny. This one has a gold side and a silver side! I think the ‘66 flat top is the most difficult? Ziphippie

[henry porter]

The lid on mine says Super Softtop, even though it's a regular steel lid....

[mrlager428]

I didn't know it comes as a Flat Top!...I would think 1966 was late for a FlatTop??...I wonder what was up with that?....I'm sure that ones going to be tough to find!!.....I like the Challange!

I have 4 Aluminum versions. the one next to Tampa sez brewed at Longview Texas & the 2 next to that just has Longview listed as first city. no dot above any city. LEON.

Ok I see it now I didn't that close the first time!....those are Cool!....I like the Aluminum Draft Cans with the Silver Trim....Maybe one of these Days I will pick them up even though there from Longview and Tampa not Milwaukee!

Interesting can.
It seems to have quite a variety of lids on it, early tab, lift ring, steel super soft top, and flat top. Wonder if there is an aluminum soft top? Certainly fits in with the time frame.
The steel "super softop" that I have (on the left) has a rolled lid on the bottom. So it makes sense that they filled the cans from the bottom.
So..., my question would be, why would Schlitz choose to have so many different tops? Most (of the 1966 cans ) seemed to have come from Milwaukee.
Location? Different lids going to different states with different lid laws? I have no idea..., I'm just throwing it out there.

I think the 14oz'ers are way Cool!!

[storzman]

these are not impossible but tougher than they look, the 14oz from Longview is same design but 1968? The two 16s are 1966

[storzman]

Since I have been reading this topic lately, There is one can I'm looking for,,but it got to the point if this can is legit. That can is USBC Vol- 2 -102-13 . This can is a little bit different in color on the label. Don't know if is a water can or original color.?? If is orginial color? Is it tough or common can ??

[Longopener]

I'd say that 102-13 is a water can mostly due to the bottom rim being rusted. There was a marshy dump of 60s tabs I dug that had Old Milwaukees, OMD and Buds with that same maroon discoloring.

[beerhunter14]

Longopener- Thank for the updates
Umm , Interesting,If this is a water can , How come it got photo in the USBC book ????

[mrlager428]

I found the Can on the right today at a Local Antque Store!...It is also Bottom Opened!.....There's a big difference in the Colors of these Cans....I am seeing more of the Can on the right on Ebay but still not the other one!

102-13 Most definitely a lake can. here's a pic of 102-16 that I dug out of the bottom of lake Delhi in 2011
