Old Beer Cans & Breweriana for Sale • Archives for Research • Free Appraisals
Reference: USBCOI 581Brewery: Grace Bros. Brewing Co. San Francisco, CaliforniaManufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.Date of manufacture: circa 1936-1937Contents/Type: 12 oz instructional flat top beer canCondition/Comments: An exceptional example of this scarce West Coast can. The only notable blemish is a tiny mark beneath the letter “R” of the word “Beer.” The graphics and colors are outstanding and are a true reflection of the design sensibilities of the 1930s era. The name itself is surely a play on the notoriety of Roosevelt’s ‘New Deal’ programs enacted at the time. NOTE: top lid is replaced. This can was found as a drinking mug and a correct period lid was beautifully installed by the Master of can repair, Art Lacomb.
