Anyone here interested in the Schlitz 1980 Olympic test can display

Post by zoinkss »

Im selling the Olympic test can display I picked up last year. Its the only display known. Schlitz decided not to make them as the USA boycotted the Olympics that year because of the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.
This is a history piece and one of a kind. The test cans are in the book at 200 each.
If anyone is interested I was going to sell it for 1000.
Pm me if interested.

Thanks

These cans are in the book in the TEST section. They run $200 each but they generally run under the wire when sold because there are so few. People think they are just another foil label test can.

@zoinkss Andrew understand but it is always best to try and get all side images for the online supplement.

It looks like there's a 6th commemorative independent of the presentation quality set. Coloring on @zoinkss' set is bold and stunning compared to Supplement. Not a complaint, just an observation. Also in Andrew's side pic, the opposite face appears to be standard Schlitz face for that era.
