I see nobody mentioned the Stroud can, I guess that's a common can now. LEON.


P.S. Is that 2 Schultz under the 2 Tally Ho Cones?

Interesting that he collected variations that early - not just "one of each brand..."

Here's the obituary for Joseph Veg (no mention of beer cans).

From the Dayton (Ohio) Journal-Herald, dated August 26, 1953.

Found another newspaper story on Veg from 1948, about his metalcraft hobby. It says he sold his beer can collection (no other details provided - see first full paragraph, second column).
