@stringsx24now

I like your suggestion! Obviously my collecting niche is variety but here are my favorite Michigan cans (actually, the only ones I've got). Click to enlarge.

Okay, here's another. I cannot post the Big Mac can without also posting the Pfeiffer ore boat can. Photo is courtesy of Randy's site:

Not sure I have any Indiana cans photographed, anything I still have would be just some common stuff. I do however have some of my former Michigan cans I posted Facebook back in July on the "Friday Favorites" thread. Other than a set of the Pfeiffer scene cans, these are the ones I liked the most and probably should have kept. Hell, could have bought a nice new car cash given today prices.

Last one from me for now. There is always https://www.mbcinfo.com for detailed images of most known Michigan variations. The following is from recent CanDB feature where can basically create any type of view.

Thanks Joe. Goebel Bock clean from Detroit is a tough can. As for the Guinness Beer, is that #44058? If yes, any chance I could get large pics of all four sides for my MBC web site?

Some I wished I had back. The Goebel with the Florida stamp has got to be an oddball.

The old Gold was a timely acquisition.

Here are 6 interesting Michigan cans. The National and Sportman cans are 2 mockup cans from the brewery . The red Altes was purchased at the first buy sell show I ever attended in the ten cent bin. It had never been soaked.
