For your consideration are a collection of twelve cone top beer cans, circa 1935-1960. Cone top cans were introduced in 1935 as a hybrid between beer bottles and flat top cans. The cone top can was especially attractice to smaller breweries which did not have the capital necessary to buy new cannery machinery, because they could be filled on standard bottle equipment. This collection of antique cans consists of Schlitz, Wiedemann, Chief Oshkosh, Richbrau, Falstaff, Rhinelander, Milwaukee, Goetz, Blatz, Rainier, Famous Beverwyck and Grain Belt beer makers. The cans show appropriate wear and fading for their age. Despite the rust on the cans, much of their labels are still readable. The cans measures 5 1/2" tall by 2 5/8" in diameter.
