Acme Beer Olive Drab UNLISTED

Reference: USBC unlisted
Brewery: Attributed to Acme Brewing Co., Los Angeles, California
Manufacturer/Plant: Unknown
Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
Canning Code: n/a
Contents/Type: 12 oz
Condition/Comments: Heavy sand-filled can designed as an olive drab beer can but possibly intended as a display. Some firmly believe it to be a factory beer can. There are no canning company marks, the lids are non-beer can lids, and the can has a rolled seam not typical of factory rolled cans. The can must be rotated about 240 degrees to reveal the whole brand and product. The state of preservation is high, with only minor marks. The can measures about 1/3 of a rim shorter than typical. Regardless of wether you categorize it as a display piece or as a beer can, it is attractive, interesting and hard to come by.
