Fehr’s-Common and overlooked or obscure?
So is this Fehr’s can from Cincinnati obscure or simply a common but often overlooked brewery variation?
My guess is the latter
It’s not in the USBC that I can see although I expect it is in the supplement.

Re: Fehr’s-Common and overlooked or obscure?
Durtbagg; that Fehr's Draft Brewed can is from Cincinnati so definitely a pulltab. Leon your memory is like a Steel Trap finding that old post, since then I have seen about 3/4 others. My belief is the can is obscure but not very desireable so value is small. An Ohio or tab collector will probably have some interest if available.

Re: Fehr’s-Common and overlooked or obscure?
I remember talking about that can in here before so I knew there was a old post on it. Notice I commented on the old post. I got a photographic memory but it only works part time. LEON.

Re: Fehr’s-Common and overlooked or obscure?
Thanks guys, but still unclear. Barfly says it’s definitely a pull tab but it’s pictured in the supplement as a flat?

I think it comes both ways. LEON.

@DURTBAGG
@Leon
Mr. Photographic Memory (Part-time) is absolutely correct. It is can #2 064 17 5. Both versions are new in each Supplement. Here's the tab version:

Re: Fehr’s-Common and overlooked or obscure?
Yeah, it fits my collection so I'd look for both the flat and the tab.
I think I have the tab. Will have to check when i get home.

Re: Fehr’s-Common and overlooked or obscure?
The one I have has what appears to be a new top (maybe not) but I can’t see any evidence that it has been relidded. No gear marks, correct height, etc. If this can really comes as a flat, it definitely fits my collection, if only comes as a tab it’s got to go.
Not sure of the significance of the name or date on the bottom unless former collector and when acquired
See all pics and please offer opinions

@DURTBAGG
The Flat version is a new addition to the Volume I Supplement (that's why the number ends in a 5). The Tab version is a new addition to the Volume II Supplement (that's why the number also ends in a 5).
If you look at all the Fehr's cans from both volumes The Flat is the only one listed from Cincinnati while all the Tabs only came from Cincinnati.
The name on the bottom is a collector (that contributed to the second BCCA newsletter). Found it in the BMV. Attached for your benefit or denial. He was BCCA #8, if that holds any significance for you.

Re: Fehr’s-Common and overlooked or obscure?
I love seeing some of the original collector's names on cans like that. Adds to the history.

Re: Fehr’s-Common and overlooked or obscure?
It probably looks different in hand but is that another label peaking through?
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Hey Pinnacle
Yeah I looked at this area under bright lighting after you pointed it out-good eye! It is a very small area of what I will call “moisture rust” and includes a couple of small scratches in the middle. In the pic I can see why it looks like it could be another label coming thru, but as you said, it definitely looks different in hand.
