Hi,
Question about another one of my side collections I started..
Anybody seen any other soda cans for the Greater Milwaukee Open? I know there are several RC Cola cans I am missing.
Here's what I have so far.
Thanks,
VNV

Re: Greater Milwaukee Open soda cans
I've got a couple of Graf's Root Beer cans for the GMO as well. Not sure of the years because they weren't printed on the cans, but one has the same August 4-10 date as your 50/50 can does. They are definitely a cool side collection!

Re: Greater Milwaukee Open soda cans
I am looking for the 1973 and 1974 RC cola Milwaukee Open cans. These were canned by Graf's Beverages of Milwaukee WI.
I have the RC can dated July 1 - 6. Dave has it listed as a 74 but the 75 dates were the same.

Re: Greater Milwaukee Open soda cans
The Milwaukee Open was first held on July 8 - 14, 1968.
1969 Aug 4 - 10
1970 July 6 - 12
1971 July 5 -11
1972 July 10 - 16
1973 July 2 - 8
1974 July 1 - 6
1975 July 1 - 6
I have not heard of or seen a Open can for 1976.
It is not known if all dates were produced on RC Cola, Graf's Root Beer and Graf's 50/50.
