Old Beer Cans & Breweriana for Sale • Archives for Research • Free Appraisals
Reference: USBC Not ListedBrewery: Brewing. Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.Date of manufacture: circa Contents/Type: 12 oz. High Profile Cone Top Beer CanCondition/Comments: 3 issues lead us to believe this can is not just a normal 150-24 with patina but rather a different variation: 1. the different pattern of yellow and gold in the ribbon design at bottom, 2. Top portion of main label is standard bright red, "Contents" and "12 Fluid Ounces" are outlined in the original bright red color, leading us to believe the purple color was intentional, and 3. Provenance- this cone was consigned by a closet collector who obtained this cone along with about 24 other "unfilled cans" in 1972 from a Continental Can Co. employee. It's unclear if the olive drab color is patina'd gold or intentionally olive drab. The OD color is 100% uniform. All original.
