Looking through the Book I see 12 different Heileman's Old Style Low Profile Cone Tops. BUT, I don't see this variation. Mine is a STRONG Beer, Not over 5% by Weight. I see a similar can listed #177-10 but this can is Concaved Bottom & Raised Ribs. My can is a Flat Bottom Inverted Ribbed cone. I see it in Strong & NO 5% but not Strong NO5%. Is this a tougher Variation? LEON.

Re: Unknown Unpictured cone top?
The can comes both flat boom and concave bottom. Each has a canning code of 4-11-B so it makes sense that when they stopped using the flat bottom, they finished up what they had with concave bottoms. There was a big find of the flat bottoms at some point - usually in 2+ shape - and they are readily obtainable. The concave can is another matter. I have a dumper of that one. Matt

How come not pictured in the book? The find must of happened after Book came out. Guess I'll have to check the Supplement. THANKS, LEON.

Re: Unknown Unpictured cone top?
I have both the flat and concave variations. I'll go with whatever Matt says as to the relative rarity of the two. Maybe Neil K has additional insight on this one...
