Colorado Composite Discussion Thread

Little can update.

I need to still finish up going through my Coors cans and get you my thoughts - here is one that could not wait.

Michael

[Scott Rollert]

Thanks Michael! What a difference 1/1000th of a cent makes. Are they concave bottom flats?

[Boardman]

The bottoms are the ribbed variation, the tops are just flat (no concave or beads)

[Scott Rollert]

Noted. I'll have them added with the next update.

[Scott Rollert]

After the March 30 Mile Hi show, I have the following additions for the list. They will be added for the next update.

The Gold Label on the left is courtesy of Don Jones. It has an "Oklahoma" top lid. Also note the 3 tab seam versus the no tab seam on the can to the right. Does anyone reading this have a better "no tab" seam? I'd like a better pic with a readable can code.

The Heritage is a fan tab, and will be noted as such. The other tab version of this can is a "tear drop" type tab.

The Hi En Brau Spokesman is a "tear drop" type tab, and will be noted as such.

The Coors fan tab is a JMC can code. The other listed version of this can is JMC-H can code.

Thanks to Dwayne Sutton for the pics of the Heritage, HI En Brau and Coors.

Here is my little Gold Label. 3 toothed seam, CCC 40 can code, and a CCC R-65 3.2% top lid. Found in CO.

Very cool Regan. Don't have the 3.2% top lid listed, so it'll be on the next update. Could you post a pic of the top lid?

[mountainrust]

Here ya go!

Perfect! Noted and verified. Will be added to the list with the next update. Pretty cool, before the show Sat. there was only 1 CO Gold Label 8 oz. can listed. Now it's up to 3!

Thanks Regan.

[Scott Rollert]

While at the Vegas show I did manage to find a new can code for the Berghoff (USBC 36-4). A tip of the cap to ex-BCCA Prez. Bill Boyles for letting me take pics of the can. This can will be added with the next update.

For what it's worth, this is the only example of a CO can with a CCC 5 A code, so far. The search continues...

Here are three Gold Tivoli cans. 1. The gold is much less metalic. w/3.2 stamp. LH. 2. Metalic gold 3.2 stamp. M. 3. Metalic gold w/o stamp.

[Scott Rollert]

Thanks for the pics Jack. The dull gold 3.2% will be added with the next update.

Walters, can by National, 12 FL. OZ. on front label 3.2%, glued seam can. What can you tell me about this can? How tough is it? I've collected CO cans for years and never seen one before. Thank you.

[Scott Rollert]

Brian, go to the first page of this thread. There's a discussion of these types of cans from Walters.

[mountainrust]

Scott, I went to see if the black label Coors I just found was an upgrade, and discovered a new one for the composite. Keglined with NO canning code. How about that In fact I brought three home if you need one.

Interesting. The can that I have that is similar to baartz' does not have the 3.2 statement

[JAL]

I was asked to post the pictures here... certainly glad to help out. I don't have lid pictures handy since I personally don't collect lid variations in my NON collection, just print variations. When I get a chance, I'll snap a few and add at a later date. I think if you click-e the picture, you should get a larger version.

Andy

[Scott Rollert]

Your contribution is greatly appreciated Andy. The glued seam can will be added to the next list update. When you get a chance to take more pics, be sure to get the top lid and can code for documentation.

[baartz]

Dear Scott,

Here's the photo of the Coors dull gold/ enamel flat top. CCC 40, plain lids top and bottom

[Scott Rollert]

The Coors is noted and will be included in the next update.

[canman65]

Here is my 8oz no teeth seam. CCC40, content on lid.

[Scott Rollert]

Thanks for the pics Jack. That variation is listed on the current version of the composite. If you don't see it on your list, download the latest version. Or wait for a little while, I already have some more variations to add.

[canman65]

Scott and fellow Colorado dude's! Here three different Tivoli Western cans two are on the list and one is not..

CCC 73 on left of seam!! Also take note of where the "D" in Denver is located on the Tivoli Brewing Co. cans. It's off center. Keep up the good work Scott!

[Scott Rollert]

Thanks for posting the pics, Jack. The CCC 73 (St. Louis plant) is a new addition for the list, and will be included with the next update.

Interestingly, my CCC (Tivoli Brg.) can has the can code on the left side of the seam. I think I'll note that difference too.

If someone wanted to collect a specialized sub group of Colorado cans, try getting the all the Pacific Can Co. labels in 1+ condition! And throw in the Handi soda for good measure.

[Scott Rollert]

The following cans will be added to the latest update. Thanks to Colin S. (El Basurero), Dwayne Sutton and a big thank you to Chick Runge. Chick has one of the best collections around, and he was gracious enough to go over his CO cans for us. So here we go...

Black Dallas tab with a strong vanity lid.

Kol zip & tab with vanity bottom lids.

Coors juice tab. The toothed seam is rather unique to the 2 sided Coors.
