How to tell the difference from a Real Cone Top and a replica Cone Top !

:smt023 :
I am looking into a Cone Top Beer Can. If I believe what I think it is it would be a nice find.
I am just above novice skills in collecting Beer Cans. I would not consider myself a expert about beer cans.
How can you really tell the difference from a real cone top beer can and a replica cone top beer can from just looking at pictures ?
Thank you all for the help.
John the Humble Can Man.

Since I'm not as familiar with all of the designs as I am with flats and tabs, I start with the USBC Supplement to at least give me an idea if that label came as a cone top.

if you have the opportunity to post a photo here before buying people will be able to advise you. There were two cones from the 1970s made for collectors that fool newbies sometimes... Milwaukee Premium and General Pulaski.
