Looking for a Malta Hatuey Crowntainer like the one pictured here.

There was a rusty one available in Argentina at BCWC. The price was substantially higher than that...

Al, Thanks, But what does BCWC stand for? Bill

Al, Found the BCWC, but not the Malta Hatuey!! Thanks for the lead though.Bill

Would you happen to know anything about this Hatuey paper label can for U.S. import? Value, info???? This can was in a bar collection. thanks, Kip

Very interesting can. I have seen them before and the label was removed and a regular Hatuey flat was underneath. I would definitely leave the paper label on.

[foreigncanman]

Interesting can. Would be interested if you are selling. Tom

Kip, I think you have something there, and it appears to be in pretty reasonable shape. I would not have an idea on value. Out of my wheelhouse. That said, I have collected cans since not 1969, BCCA #373, I have never seen that can. Seen a few of the regular flat tops, but no paper label that I can remember. Good luck and good find. Please keep me in mind if a crowntainer comes round, I would appreciate the help, Bill

I have not seen that version before - great can to "preserve". I have two versions and one is somewhat like his one with "BEER" on one side and "CERVEZA" on the other and "BACARDI" below the profile of Hateuy's head. I would line up for the can too.

the one that snuck down the steps to my can cave at the edge of the Rockies

Found an upgrade!!! Thanks to those who threw me a bone in my pursuit. Happy Holidays to All!!!

[Randy Karasek]

My opinion some of the crowntainers a bit bland, but that design and the Chief are killer, and would gladly put on shelf. Congrats on your upgrade, very, very nice.

Hope its ok to trail in on this thread. I need to get a nice Hatuey opener or maybe a label or two for a friend who is not a beer collector. I'd like any of the cans myself and need to upgrade or get any of the older labels.

Hatuey was a Taino Indian executed by the Spanish in 1512. My buddy is becoming the world expert in their art and artifacts and I thought it would be cool to get a nice wall mounted opener or something cool for him.

If you have any older Hatuey stuff (pre-1970 say) I would be interested. Thanks, Andy
